This nut treat is so addictive. Every time I make this as a topping for the
field green salad, it is hard for people to keep their hands off the nuts
before it is on table. There are many ways to make this walnut candy treat. The
Chinese recipe instructs to deep-fry the nuts and then coat with sugar. Some others
cook sugar with water and then add the nuts. The sugar volume depends on the sweetness
of the nuts that suits each individual. I love to have this for my snack, so I
make it with as little sugar as is possible. I add a little kick with cayenne
on the nuts. Store in an airtight container when it cools. As a warning to the
weight conscious, as I said, it is an addictive snack!
Ingredients:
2 cups walnuts
2 tbs sugar
3 tbs honey
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
In a large sauté pan, add sugar, honey, salt, and
coconut oil over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar and honey dissolve.
Stir in
walnuts and vanilla.
Continue cooking on low-medium heat until all the nuts are
coated with sugar and oil (it should take about 3 to 5 minutes).
Careful do not
let nuts burn. Turn heat off and let cool completely before placing in the
airtight jar.
