I started making these Candied Walnuts a few months back. My daughter hates Walnut, because of its bitter aftertaste. Honey roasting them seemed like a good idea because it is healthy and I was sure she would like it. Now she haves them happily and along with her even we got addicted to these. To spice it up, I add a spicy mix to it.

A handful of Candied Walnuts satisfies your sweet craving and also provides the necessary nutrition. But let me warn you these are damn addictive and even before you realise half a jar would have got finished.

How to Make Candied Walnut?

Candied Walnut Recipe is really easy to make. For this Honey Spiced Candied Walnut, you need Honey, salt, Chili Powder, Garam Masala, Cinnamon Powder and Oil. The spice level can be easily customizable.

Start with making a mixture of honey and all the spices. Toss Walnut with the spiced honey mixture. Then bake in a pre-heated oven. First honey would melt and the mixture would look very liquidy. Gradually honey starts to caramelize and coat the walnuts. Keep mixing the walnut in intervals to coat the walnuts evenly.

Towards the end you need to watch closely, else it might burn very quickly. At the end of baking time, honey will thicken up and stick to the nuts. The nuts might still feel a little sticky when you take them out of the oven. It hardens once it cools down.

When it has cooled down but is still a little warm, we are going to toss it with light brown sugar. Tossing in sugar gives a crispy coating to the nuts and it will not feel sticky to touch.

When you say to use chili powder, do you mean cayenne pepper?

In your blog you say to mix the spices with the honey but in the recipe they are mixed with the brown sugar, which is it?

  Hi Stefanie, It is first mixed with honey and baked. Towards the end, the baked walnuts are tossed with brown sugar to get a crisp coating and also they are not very sticky.

I just pulled these out of the oven and it seems like they’re going to be really good! If I could make one suggestion about your wording in your instructions though. It is my fault for not reading thoroughly, but when I saw the long list of ingredients I had to mix prior to coating the nuts, I assumed it was everything on the list. So I included the brown sugar in the original mix. It wasn’t until I just pulled them out of the oven and was reading your further instructions that I saw I was supposed to add the brown sugar after cooking. It might be nice to say something about mixing all ingredients EXCEPT for the brown sugar to highlight that detail. Hopefully they are just as good the way I made them, maybe they will be a little extra sticky. Lol! Thank you!
