Candied nuts are nuts that have been coated in a sweet syrup, often made from sugar, honey, or maple syrup. This process typically involves roasting the nuts and then tossing them in the syrup until they are evenly coated. The result is a crunchy, sweet snack that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for desserts and salads. Common types of nuts used for candying include almonds, pecans, and walnuts. Candied nuts are popular in various cuisines and can be found at fairs, markets, and as homemade treats during holidays. They are often enjoyed for their delightful combination of sweetness and nuttiness.
