Easy Candied Nuts
Candying has a reputation for being difficult, but it doesn’t need to be. All it means to candy something is to coat and saturate a food in a sugar syrup that hardens when it cools, creating a candy coating that you crunch through. These candied walnuts don’t require a thermometer or a copper pan. They are easy, take only three ingredients and just a few minutes to make.
I love most of the recipes and will someday get around to making everything. Tonight will be the candied walnuts.
I just tried this. the sugar just clumped together.
Hi Pam. Sorry you had a problem with this recipe. It sounds like you may have had your pan too hot. The sugar has to dissolve over medium heat and then it will start to caramelize and coat the nuts, at which time you turn the heat down. If it is too hot, the sugar will seize and clump up.
