This is the easiest, most simple method for candying any type of nut- simply place in a non-stick skillet with some granulated sugar. (This is the same method I shared for my candied peanuts as well.) Now the fancy method would be to melt sugar into a liquid caramel of sorts and then coat the nuts, but I love this method of adding it all together to the pan because you’ll get some bits where the sugar stays in little crystalized chunks and it makes them extra crunchy and delicious.
It only takes a few minutes and then you can slide them right out to cool on a sheet of parchment or a silicone mat.
You can see in this photo below what I mean about those crunchy bits- see the little sugar clumps? I love those!
These are fantastic in salads, but also great simply to snack on. They’d be great on a cheese plate or just in a bowl!
If you loved candied nuts, here is another recipe that’s super old, but it’s super good. I use this method if I want a more dessert-style nut. Happy snacking!
