5 Minute Glazed Nuts
These Candied Nuts take just minutes to make! Use any nuts you'd like — pecans, walnuts, cashews, you name it. Great for holiday gifting!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole raw nuts
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Add nuts, sugar, and butter to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly with a rubber heat-proof spatula until the sugar melts into the butter and completely coats the nuts, turning the heat down as needed, approximately 5-7 minutes. The sugar will look grainy until the melting/liquifying process happens at the very end.
- Immediately transfer nuts to parchment paper and separate using 2 forks OR let the nuts harden together and break them apart with your fingers once cooled. Before cooling, I like to sprinkle with cracked sea salt. The nuts and coating will harden in 5-7 minutes. Chop the nuts if desired.
Notes
*If using chopped nuts, don't chop them too small or they will burn.
