The second recipe I'm sharing is for those of you with a sweet tooth. Maple-glazed nuts are a special treat in my home. Although you can also make these with any standard sugar syrup, I highly recommend trying this version with real maple syrup. After all, the Super Bowl only happens once a year and these treats are definitely something to cheer about!
In an iron skillet or saucepan, stir together the syrup, cinnamon, butter, and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture becomes brown and thickens. Add the vanilla extract, then the nuts and toss until the nuts are covered evenly with the glaze. Quickly spread the nuts out and cool them on wax paper.
