I have made this recipe 2 times, and everyone has loved it both times. I add the candied walnuts to Mixed Spring Greens, raspberries and strawberries, shaved parmesan and a raspberry vinaigrette. LOVE!!

I have made these every year for Christmas for the last couple of years and they are always a big hit. I do walnuts and peacans. Super easy and always a hit.

These were wonderful!! I made them to put into a cherry chicken green salad, and couldn't keep my hands off of them waiting for dinner. They were fantastic in the salad too. Thanks for the recipe, so simple!!

This recipe is all that it claims. Wonderful candied walnuts for every occasion. I prepared them to go with a salad, and they were easy to prepare, all around. As I have a convection oven, I limited the roasting for the walnuts to about 7 minutes. I timed this to correspond with the preparation of the sugar mixture, which I heated to about 220 F. Then, mixing them while still hot, and when fully coated, spread them on a cool baking sheet lined with parchment paper, allowed separation of the nuts without sticking together. And to top it off, they tasted great!

I had trouble with this recipe..... Probably more user than recipe itself. I made one batch of syrup, and it instantly turned to a solid chunk once I added the vanilla. Scratch that batch and made another one removing it much earlier from the heat. Worked much better the second time. You are probably better to remove from heat early, and adjust with the next batch as necessary.

I only had half a pound of chopped walnuts so I baked those half the cooking time. (so 325° for 4 min) and followed the recipe exactly. I followed another reviewers advice and lightly salted (with sea salt) the candied walnuts as they cooled. VERY YUMMY!! I will always have a bowl of candied walnuts within reach from now on! This recipe is so easy and very versatile, next time I'm using pecans!
