What can I do with a half-pound of macadamia nuts fresh from Hawaii?

Rec: Cashew Macadamia Crunch - these are wonderful!!!

2 cups (11.5 oz. pkg.) milk chocolate or chocolate chips
3/4 cup coarsely chopped salted or unsalted cashews
3/4 cup coarsely chopped salted or unsalted macadamia nuts
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar

Line 9-inch square pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan;
butter foil. Cover bottom of prepared pan with chocolate chips.

Combine cashews, macadamia nuts, butter, sugar and corn syrup in large heavy skillet; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to cling together and turns golden brown.

Pour mixture over chocolate chips in pan, spreading evenly. Cool. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Remove from pan; peel off foil. Break into pieces. Store tightly covered in cool, dry place. About 1-1/2 pounds candy.
