To spice the nuts up add in a pinch of cayenne pepper and about 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in with the sugar and salt, but that is only optional. Make certain to generously spray the baking sheet with cooking spray, I use recipe #78579

Tips:

  • Use fresh walnuts. Fresh walnuts have a better flavor and texture than older walnuts.
  • Toast the walnuts before candying them. Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. This will help to prevent the walnuts from crystallizing.
  • Stir the walnuts constantly while they are candying. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Spread the walnuts out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Store the candied walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied walnuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts, salads, and yogurt. They are also a great gift idea for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own candied walnuts at home.
