- Melt butter in large saucepot over medium heat.
- Add nuts, stir well to coat.

- Add bourbon. (Mixture will bubble.)
- Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce changes from liquid to grainy.

Notes
These nuts will have an almost sandy coating on them when done. While not shiny and sleek, it allows you to get more sweetness, butteriness, and bourbon in each bite.
