Notes
- Candied walnuts on the stovetop:
Add all of the ingredients to a pan on medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Candied walnuts in the crockpot:
To your slow cooker, add all of the ingredients and cook on high for about an hour.
- Air fryer candied walnuts:
Add the walnut coated in sugar to the air fryer basket and bake at 350°F for about 8 minutes, or until the nuts are golden-brown.
- Storage. Store these nuts in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. We recommend storing them in a cool dark place to avoid them getting soggy or stale.
- Freeze. We don’t recommend freezing these candied walnuts as it would make them soggy.
