NUT STICKS



Nut Sticks image

This is another old recipe I found in my grandmothers recipe box. I can hardly read the recipe card, and it doesnt say how many this makes. I am going to guesstimate and say 3 dozen. I really have no idea, so please dont reply on my guesstimate. You can use a variety of finely chopped nuts in this recipe. Use approximately 2 cups of nuts, more or less to your desired amount. Cooking time is to make one batch. I have no idea how many this makes, like i said, so the yield is a GUESSTIMATE... please be aware that the yield is unknown!
