    ***The rest is left empty in Moms book, but trying to remember what she did next I believe she set removed nuts onto parchment lined cookie sheet, and allowed to set, then rolled them in the extra sugar prior to putting into a lined tin which was only opened on Christmas Eve night -- and that was always the beginning of our Christmas.
