Fall Spiced Walnuts

Super simple candied walnuts are spiced with the taste of fall, cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of cloves. They are great on salads, as a garnish or eaten as is!

     These delicious nuts just take a few ingredients and very little effort. They are flavored with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and remind me a bit of fall.  Toss a handful in a salad or sprinkle them on your yogurt. They are great in oatmeal too.


     Make a double batch and give some away as gifts or hoard them all for yourself.  You could also very easily sub in pecans, almonds or your favorite nuts.

     I made these for the first time back in 2015. Of course Little Dude got in on the act.  We made them to go on a fall salad that was loaded with apples, quinoa, cheese and more.

     I love those kinds of salads, the ones with loads of goodies on top.  A salad with great greens, lots of fruit, cheese and nuts could easily be my dinner 4 days a week.

    But candied nuts are not only good for salads. They are also great sprinkled on a bowl of oatmeal or creamy yogurt.  Just thinking of it makes me want to make more candied nuts.

     Here is the original post from 2015:

     I love spiced nuts.  There is something about the slightly sweet, slightly spicy crunchy nuts that make the irresistible.

    I was making the gingerbread skillet roll and thought it would be fun to use a similar mix of flavors on some walnuts for a fall salad.

     These nuts are so easy to make.  Just a few spices, a little sugar and some nuts, a few stirs and there you have it!  You won't be able to stop eating them.

   They are perfect for snacking, great for salad topping or would make a great garnish for a dessert.  Let your imagination and taste buds be your guide!
