“BUBU Cooking” Series – Episode 10: Cashew & Macadamia Candy – Crunchy, Buttery, and Irresistibly Sweet!

BUBU Premium Macadamia Nuts are meticulously selected from the highlands of Dak Lak – a region with a cool climate and fertile red basalt soil, resulting in plump, rich, and crisp macadamia kernels worthy of the title, “Queen of Nuts.” Thanks to modern processing technology, the product retains its natural flavor and full nutritional value, making it perfect for daily snacking and an ideal high-end health gift.

Alongside them are BUBU Premium Cashews Nuts from Binh Phuoc – the “cashew capital” of Vietnam. Unlike the large, polished varieties, Binh Phuoc cashews are smaller and darker-shelled, but boast a distinctive rich, buttery flavor and satisfying crunch, highly valued by experts.

And today, let’s take these two nutritious nuts and transform them into Cashew & Macadamia Candy – a treat that’s crunchy, sweet, with a hint of ginger spice and the refreshing tang of kumquat.

Ingredients You’ll Need (Yields 4-5 servings)

• BUBU Premium Macadamia Nuts: 70g

• BUBU Premium Cashews Nuts: 70g

• Palm Sugar: 120g

• Crispy Rice Paper: 3 – 4 pieces

• Minced Ginger: 5g

• Kumquat Juice: 2 – 3 teaspoons

How to Make BUBU Cashew & Macadamia Candy

• Step 1: Shell the Macadamia and Cashew nuts, then lightly crush or chop them (don’t grind them too finely).

• Step 2: Place the palm sugar and a splash of water in a pot. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and slightly thickens.

• Step 3: Add the Macadamia, Cashews, and minced ginger. Mix well and cook for another 1 – 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Test by dropping a small amount into cold water; if it hardens, it’s ready.

• Step 4: Lightly brush a thin layer of kumquat juice onto the crispy rice paper to enhance the flavor.

• Step 5: Quickly spread the warm nut candy mixture evenly over the rice paper. Let it cool for about 10 minutes until the candy hardens.

• Step 6: Break the candy into small, bite-sized pieces and enjoy.
