Nuts (you can roast slightly in the oven if you would like additional taste)

In a heavy pan dissolve sugar and water over low heat. Continue to heat until mixture starts to change color (this is when it becomes carmelized). Toss in the nuts, making sure they are all covered. Remove from heat and using a slotted spoon spread nuts on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper to dry. ENJOY!
