Time 20m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons salt
6 cups whole pecans or walnuts
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Blanch nuts in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and dry them off in a kitchen towel. Lightly toss them into the sugar mixture until coated. Remove nuts, and set aside the sugar spice mixture.
  • Bring the oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan to 330 to 350 degrees-F (do not let the oil burn). *Hint: place 1 nut in the oil and when it starts to sizzle, add the rest of the nuts.
  • Fry approximately 1 minute, the nuts will turn golden in color, and float. Remove from the oil and add directly to the sugar mixture and toss again. Carefully remove nuts and shake off excess sugar, let cool and serve.

These candied nuts are a great way to use up leftover nuts. I always have a few nuts left over after making a batch of cookies or brownies, and these candied nuts are the perfect way to use them up.

I've tried several recipes for candied nuts and this one is by far the best. The nuts are perfectly coated in the sugar syrup and they have a nice crunch.

So easy to make and so delicious! I used a mix of peanuts, cashews, and macadamia nuts. The nuts were coated evenly in the sugar syrup and had a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.

These candied nuts are the perfect balance of sweet and crunchy. I used a mix of pecans, walnuts, and almonds, and they all turned out great. I will definitely be making these again for my next party!
