Do these look burnt to you? Hihi....I burnt them the last I did it. This time, I reduced the temp, and thy still burn. Ugh! I didn't smell it like last time though. My mom said how come they're all burnt. I replied that the nuts aren't burnt, that's how the color supposed to be. She popped one, right out of the oven, into her mouth. "They're burnt!" She exclaimed. Darn , I couldn't fool her. Hehehe.....I guess I'll be eating them by myself. :P
Anyways, Clod, how did you manage NOT to burn your nuts? |

Thought I'd put the question here although it might be better elsewhere. Teacher's Appreciation week is next and I still haven't decided what I want to do. I thought making cookies would be boring because I've been doing that for the last few years. I give them cookies for Xmas and Teacher's Appreciation week. However, a friend said the teachers would appreciation home baked goods because they hardly get these. She suggest I could give brownies or cupcakes since I make good ones. Or fruit tarts because she'd want one or two if I decide to make these.
 I've thought of the spice walnuts but nuts are expensive since there are many teachers to give to. So, should just bake them cookies like usual? Or something else?

I think I'd prefer the real fish and chips.
 Looks interesting. I'll check out the recipe later. Don't wanna spend too much time doing these.

Gas or electric oven? What temp? What rack, top, middle or bottom?
Inquiring minds need to know. Bottom rack will almost always burn things Electric ovens are a pain in the ass and will often burn things I think nuts are usually cooked at less than 300°f, like 250° or something.

You also have to stir them every five minutes, literally. The upshot to this is you'll be watching them so closely, they can't possibly burn.
Also, like foot said: middle or top rack only, and turn down the heat if your oven tends to be overzealous. |

Electric oven, mid rack, 300 F. I followed the recipe, which said to stir after 10, 10, 5, 5 minutes. Next time I'll set the temp at 250 and stir every 5 mins. If the nuts still burn, I'll switch to top rack. :P

I toast nuts in a heavy cast iron pan, takes about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, high heat.

Yes, I boiled them first. I don't know how to cook/bake, so I always follow the recipe. :P

Oh yeah, one of the note says you don't really need 8 hours. Rather than measuring 8 hours, just stick it in the fridge overnight.
If all you want are recipes, I have plenty to give you.

Since Bruce's suggestion was too complicated and no one else offered any, I am making Duncan Hines cupcakes for the teachers.
someone did recently tell me I make excellent cupcakes...lol.

Oh, it's okay, Sundae. I wasn't really whining (I hope). I've been feeling lazy lately. This year has not started good and things aren't looking up yet. Anyways, I'd rather have the real fish and chips too.
