This recipe came about because I was trying to recreate this delicious salad that I would have at a restaurant back home. The salad had these candied walnuts on them that were so good, but were likely made with loads of sugar. I was able to make these without processed sugar, and they are only lightly sweet, so while they satisfy your sweet tooth, they won’t turn you into a crazy person on a sugar binge.
You can use any type of nuts, but I love walnuts, and we happen to have them all over our backyard! My personal favorite use for these nuts is as a topper to this Apple Harvest Salad. These are so easy, there’s no reason to not to give it a try!
