May be a silly question......

I was thinking about adding macadamia nut brittle, like peanut brittle, to my OOT bags. If i make this at home, would it be a problem if I traveled with it? Meaning is it okay to take the macadamia nuts across the states? B/c there's so many restrictions with taking fruits out of the states.

I honestly don't think that's a problem.  Taking fruit across state lines might be an issue if the fruit has seeds that can result in the replication of that fruit in the introduced state.  But Mac nut, especially candy should not be a problem.

As long as you pack it in your bags that are checked that you will be fine.

Sounds like a great and delicious idea! I agree with Kimmy that as long as you pack it in your checked bags there should not be a problem.

Nuts were fine getting in to Canada. I don't think it matters if it's in your carry-on or checked luggage - at least it doesn't for us. As long as they're prepared for eating, it's okay.

No advice, but simply YUMS.  And you know, go ahead and put my address on the bags so in the event they don't make it to Hawaii, I would be happy to eat it all for you

Wow, Thats such a great idea!!  How do you make it?  I would love to do that too!!

Thanks everyone! I've never made it, but I just assume make it like peanut brittle, but put mac nuts. I'll have to do a trial run since mac nuts are so big and oilier.

It won't be a problem at all. They do sell mac nut brittle in Hawaii and it's a MUST to bring home. The fruit policy applies to "fresh" fruit, especially ones with seeds. But if you want to bring Hawaiian fruit home (ie mango for instance), you can vacumm pack cut up mango, freeze it and bring it home that way. We do it all the time. HTH.
