Directions:
Coat a nonstick baking sheet with butter. In a heavy bottomed 3 quart saucepan, mix sugar and corn syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium high heat until the temperature reaches 275 degrees on a candy thermometer - about 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped nuts and cook, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes, until the temperature reaches 305 degrees (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat. Quickly stir in the extracts and baking soda. Stir in coconut. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet, spreading out to the edges with a greased wooden spoon. Let cool completely. Loosen from baking sheet and break into 24 pieces. Store in airtight containers at room temperature for 2-3 weeks. Note: I use toasted coconut cashews in place of macadamia nuts.
