5. Heat the mixture over low to medium heat while constantly stirring with a non-stick spatula.
6. You’ll see small bubbles as it cooks, which means you have the right temperature.*Be careful to constantly stir and keep the temperature to low-medium heat, as sugar (maple syrup) sticks and burns when heated.*
7. Stir the nuts and maple syrup until there is almost no more maple syrup in the bottom of the pan.
8. Once all the maple syrup is gone, pour the mixture on a pan lined with parchment paper. Spread the nuts evenly so there are no clusters.
