Candied Nuts

• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups nuts (I used cashews, pecans, almonds and peanuts)

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

Directions

Heat a large frying pan or deep pot on medium heat. When hot, add the sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and water and mix until fully combined. Allow to heat up, stirring occasionally.

When the sugar has completely melted, add the nuts and mix until fully incorporated. Watch over the pan and continue stirring often until most of the sugar has been coated and is beginning to crystallize.

Remove pan from the heat and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the nuts once more to avoid overly large clusters and set on a plate or chopping board to cool completely.
