Description

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups salted dry roasted shelled sunflower seeds
• 2 cups sugar

Directions

• Generously spray or butter a large baking sheet and set aside. Or, place a silpat mat in a large baking sheet--no buttering required. In 1.5 or 2 quart saucepan, melt butter on low heat; add salt, cinnamon, vanilla and sunflower seeds and stir to evenly coat seeds with butter mixture. Keep stove at lowest setting, stirring occasionally so that all of the seeds remain warm but dont scorch on bottom of pan.Add sugar to large (12 inch) heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir the sugar constantly. As you stir, you will see the sugar begin to melt and form clumps. Gradually, the clumps will start to melt and stir into a smooth, amber brown syrup. As soon as the last lumps melt into the syrup (this takes approx. 10-15 min.), add the warm nut mixture and stir to combine. Work quickly so the mixture doesnt burn. Immediately, pour onto prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone or wooden spatula to quickly spread the mixture into a thin, even layer.Let cool completely and break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
