Candied Cashews

For some people the holidays can be a stressful time of year. Whether you’re worried about finding that perfect gift, or you don’t have the funds to buy the gifts you want, it can be a tough time of year.

One way to make the holidays easier on yourself is to make some easy recipes. These candied cashews can serve a dual purpose. They make a great homemade gift and they make a wonderful appetizer.

Not only do candied nuts only take a few minutes to make, but they can be made ahead of time. You can even make them several days in advance.

They last for a long time. I’ve been known to have some around 2 months after making mine!

Candied Nuts

This is the fifth stovetop candied nuts recipe that I’ve made, so I often have some in my cupboard.

My first candied cashew recipe was my Maple Chipotle Cashews. Then I made some Sesame Tamari Almonds, and some Candied Pumpkin Pie Spice Pecans.

Recently I added some Smoky Maple Walnuts to the list. They are so easy to make that I’ve become addicted to making them.

There’s so many flavor combos to try out. The possibilities are endless!
