Oh no!
Do you have really high humidity? Maybe the caramel on the nuts absorbed too much water and the paste 'broke'?
That's an interesting theory, @pastrygirl! It is indeed humid. But not terribly so. Also, the paste is thinner than usual, but doesn't seem broken per se. After some digging around, I'm wondering if it was too small of a batch. I've never really considered the batch size because I usually do a decent amount. Is there a minimum amount that you tend to abide by? I'm currently doing another and bigger batch (and babysitting it, my poor ears!) and so far so good...
