    Maple Nut Goodies

    Ingredients

    • Light corn syrup — 1 cup
    • Baking soda — 1 tsp.
    • Unsalted butter — ½ cup
    • Maple syrup — 1 cup
    • Granulated sugar — 1 cup
    • Pure vanilla extract — 1 tsp.
    • Roasted peanuts — 2 cups

    Instructions

    1. Lightly grease a baking dish.
    1. In a large saucepan, combine the maple syrup, corn syrup, and granulated sugar.
    1. Cook until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring occasionally.
    1. Increase the heat and boil the mixture until the temperature reaches 300°F degrees. You can use a candy thermometer for that purpose.
    1. Once the heat reaches 300°F degrees, add the butter, vanilla extract, and baking soda.
    1. Stir the mixture again before adding the roasted peanuts.
    1. Stir well, and make sure that the peanuts are evenly coated in the candy mixture.
    1. Transfer to the baking dish and let it cool for an hour.
    1. Transfer the dessert to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized shapes.

    Substitutions

    • Roasted peanuts — The original Maple Nut Goodies recipe is made with peanuts. That’s tradition by now, and there is nothing to fix because it works well. However, you can try different kinds of nuts if you have peanut allergies. Almonds and pecans work great, as do walnuts, at least to some degree.
    • Maple syrup/corn syrup — While you might come across various recipes that use maple syrup and corn syrup interchangeably, that is not the case with the Maple Nut Goodies recipe. Light corn syrup works great, which comes with a vanilla-like flavor, while maple syrup provides a darker flavor that resembles molasses. While you can omit one of those, you would feel the lack of it. You can use brown sugar or molasses instead of maple syrup, and when it comes to light corn syrup, you could substitute it with honey or golden syrup.
    • Vanilla extract — While there is no concrete need to substitute vanilla extract, you still have plenty of options if you feel like it. Vanilla paste and vanilla sugar work great, and almond extract would be a cool twist to the original recipe.

    Variations

    • Nutty — How could the Maple Nut Goodies Recipe get any nuttier? Well, you can always use peanut butter. After all, why not? Peanut butter will help make the texture of your candies smoother while providing a complex flavor. Try it out!
    • Crunchy — One thing’s for sure: No matter how good the recipe is, it can always improve. Sometimes, it’s by omitting some ingredients, and sometimes, by adding chocolate chips. You can take these candies to another level simply by adding a package of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the mix. Simply melt the chocolate chips with a cup of butter and add it to the mix. If semi-sweet is not exactly your thing, you might also want to try milk chocolate chips.

    Equipment

    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Saucepan
    • Knife
    • Baking dish
    • Food spray
    • Candy thermometer

    Storage

    • Transfer the candies to an airtight container. Once refrigerated, the leftovers will last for two weeks.

    Pro Tips

    • Have patience — This recipe clearly states that you should allow the candies to cool for an hour, and it can’t be overstated how important that is. The resting is essential for better cuts and a smoother texture.
    • Have fun — While some people go with bars, some prefer squares. The shape of the candies is entirely up to you. Don’t be afraid to try out different shapes.
