Tips:

  • Choose the right nuts: Pecans, walnuts, and almonds are all good choices for slow cooker candied nuts. You can also use a mix of different nuts.
  • Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts will give you the best results. If you're using store-bought nuts, make sure they're unsalted and unroasted.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: The nuts should be in a single layer in the slow cooker. If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the nuts will not cook evenly.
  • Stir the nuts occasionally: Stir the nuts every few hours to ensure that they're coated evenly with the sugar mixture.
  • Cook the nuts on low heat: The nuts should be cooked on low heat for 6-8 hours. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Let the nuts cool completely: Once the nuts are cooked, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
