Candied Walnuts

Candied walnuts are great as a snack, with a glass of wine, sprinkled on a salad, or sprinkled on ice cream. There are lots of ways to make candied nuts, but this is one of the easiest ways. You can also substitute the walnuts with almonds, cashews, peanuts, or pecans. If you want to have a salty candied nut, use a salted nut. Roasting the nuts before candying them will add a richer flavor, but this is totally optional. Whichever nut you choose, just be careful not to let them burn!

Ingredients

1 cup walnuts
1/4 cup wildflower honey

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the nuts and Wildflower Honey to a boil. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the honey thickens and starts to caramelize.
  2. Shake the pan every minute or so, to make sure all the nuts are evenly coated and to prevent them from burning. There should be hardly any honey left at the bottom of the pan.
  3. Pour the nuts onto a cooling rack lined with parchment paper. Let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Do not store them in the refrigerator.
  4. Use the candied nuts on salads or eat them as a snack.

Enjoy!
