1. 1

   Toast nuts on a shallow pan in oven until slightly brown, about 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Coarsely chop them and set aside.

2. 2

   Place sugar in a pan with a heavy bottom and caramelize to a light brown color, about 8-10 minutes over a medium flame. Remove from heat quickly and add the lemon juice to "break" the caramel. Be careful of the sizzle when you do this. Then stir in the butter and salt, and fold in the nuts. Pour onto a shallow non-stick tray and smooth out to a uniform 1/3" thickness. Cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container between pieces of parchment paper. Crumble as needed. Makes enough for a dozen banana splits or other sundaes.
