Comment: I have had this recipe so long I have forgotten where it originally came from.

1/4	C	butter or margarine
1/2	C	confectioners' sugar
2	Tbsp	maple syrup
1/4	C	water
1	tsp	rum or, if desired, 1/2 tsp rum flavoring
1/2	C	finely chopped nuts

• Heat butter over medium heat until golden brown. Cool. Gradually add sugar, mixing until smooth. Stir in syrup and water.
• Heat to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Cool slightly. (The sauce thickens as it cools.) Stir in rum and nuts.
• This is great over Ice Cream.

  Makes about 1 cup.
