    These candied nuts are always a huge hit at our house whether we are hosting guests for pre-dinner drinks a casual brunch.  Plus, I love any kind of indulgent food that is rooted in a health food.  Here, we are talking walnuts!  Walnuts are rich in healthy good-for-you fats, muscle building protein and belly filling fiber.  A perfect snack food and a great addition to almost any dish, walnuts really are a nutrition powerhouse.  But if walnuts are not your favorite, any nut will do: cashews, peanuts or almonds would be excellent substitutes.

    sweet candied walnuts from the domesticated wolf

    I especially like using whole walnut halves (as opposed to pieces or crushed walnuts) because they hold up nicely against the candy coating and because they are easy to handle -- who wants to serve messy appetizers or coffee table snacks? Try sprinkling these sweets on your favorite morning yogurt or on top of homemade french toast or pancakes! 

    We'd love to hear from you if you make this dish at home! Hope you enjoy...

      I usually make Cinnamon Pecans (or almomds) which are always a big hit. I am anxious to try this new twist on a great appetizer/snack. I'm sure it will be included in my gift plates/boxes next holiday season.

      What a great snack idea! Thanks for sharing Megan! Do you think this would work with other kinds of nuts too, like maybe pecans?
