1 cup white sugar
½ cup corn syrup
½ cup salted macadamia nuts, chopped in half
½ cup pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon coconut oil
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
½ cup dried blueberries
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

Butter a 10x15-inch baking pan.
Combine sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan with a candy thermometer clipped on. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Heat to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C); add macadamia nuts, pecans, coconut oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook and stir until candy mixture reaches 300 degrees F (148 degrees C); remove from heat.
