I love candied walnuts during the fall and winter. This recipe is especially great because it’s made in the slower cooker, meaning it is as simple as can be. It takes a little patience once the nuts finish cooking, but the wait is worth it so the treat can cool and crisp back up. I include some spices you can include in your recipe, but you can also let the butter and brown sugar be the star of the show for a sweet treat.
Slow-Cooker Candied Walnuts
Ingredients

- Salt and dried spices like rosemary thyme, smoked paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg or cayenne, optional
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high for one hour.
- After an hour mix well and pour onto parchment paper or a Silpat to cool and dry. The nuts will be hot so watch your fingers and no nibbling.
- When cool the nuts will crisp up.
