Candied Walnuts are so simple to make at home and taste amazing!  You’ll love having them on hand to grab for a tasty treat or add  them to all kinds of recipes. 

I’ve got a thing lately for Candied Walnuts they’re such a great way to top off salads, desserts, and so much more!  I love how versatile they are.  Oh and don’t forget they’re delicious by the hand full too!  I have to hide them to keep them around for very long 🙂

I like to rough chop them a little bit so they’re easier to enjoy and eat when I use them as a garnish.  I love the sweet flavor pop plus, the added texture and crunch finishes off so many recipes beautifully!  Experiment with them, have fun, and see what your favorite uses are 🙂
