Tip!!

Always use roasted nuts. Ten minutes in oven (180 C) will bring out the natural oils and aromas of the nuts you want to use for your recipes. Spread the nuts (halfs) on a baking sheet and bake them until they have a nice light brown colour. Cool them at room temperature, then you’ll can easily peel them. Now you have the best crunchy nuts for perfect Christmas Stars recipe.
