We’ve been to Hawaii a number of times and one thing it makes you appreciate are macadamia nuts. They have milk chocolate covered ones, dark chocolate covered ones, chopped up and added to shortbread, sprinkled on banana pancakes, folded into ice cream…the list goes on. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is in Toffee Macs from Hawaiian Host. There’s nothing better than that buttery taste of good toffee paired with rich macadamia nuts and it was from that love I made these cookies.
If you love white chocolate mac nut cookies, these are a notch above. Chocolate covered toffee bits add a little something something that just puts a big smile on your face. They have a nice chewy center with crispy edges and big chunks of macadamia goodness. It’s like a little vacation whenever you need one. Perfect for ice cream sandwiches in the summer or if you want to leave Santa a few for some variety. I’m sure he likes toffee too. The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
