2176.0. "Macadamia Nuts " by XCUSME::KOSKI (This NOTE's for you) Wed Dec 27 1989 13:13

    I've done a dir/tit=maca but did not find any notes dedicated to
    Macadamia nuts.
    
    I received a variety pack of the nuts for Christmas. Some are plain,
    some salted. Has anyone used them? How do they do in place of walnuts
    etc. I was thinking of putting them in a date-nut or cranberry-orange
    nut bread. 
    
    Any suggestions, pointers appreciated.

2176.1substitute macadamia's for pecans or walnutsCSSE32::GRIMEPick a Cod, any Cod!Wed Dec 27 1989 13:575
    Macadamia (and cashew) nuts are great for filling chocolate truffles. 
    You can also roll the chocolates in chopped nuts too.
    
    Try them in cookies, especially chocolate chip or in your next brownie
    recipe.  Delicious!

    These nuts are so good plain I wouldn't do anything with them, just eat
    'em.  But if you must cook them in something, try white chocolate chips
    and macadamias in place of reg. chocolate chips and walnuts in
    Tollhouse cookies. Delicious!
