Molly on 2023-12-21 (5 stars): Wonderful recipe! We have traveled to German Christmas markets and wanted to try to make our own candied nuts. This recipe was perfect!
ginger lym on 2023-03-10 (5 stars): Hi Dee:
I was eating cashews the other day and thought, these are a little dry. Actually if you warm them in the micro they taste better. It reminds me of when I was about 20 years old living in San Francisco. There was a nut store that only sold nuts. It was right where the bus stop was. While waiting for the bus once in a great while I would treat myself to some warm cashews.
Fast forward about 10 TO 15 years later I made the candied nuts using pecans. I also have used a packaged product I bought from Target. Fast forward another 20 years went by. I was thinking of making the candied nuts using the cashews I was eating. I did a search and found several recipes all pretty much the same. Yours was the only one that took less time to make.
I increased the cinnamon to 4 1/2 tsp. and I think it could use another tsp. Cinnamon is one of my favorite flavors. The cashews are so yummy I can't stop eating them. Your recipe is so easy anyone can make it. The cashews I used was salted but you can't tell. I have a wide convection toaster oven and baked the nuts in it. I'm going to Costco today to get some pecans and make more candied nuts!!!
Thank you for your recipe, I'm so happy I found it.
Have a happy day and happy munching!

Patricia on 2022-08-20 (5 stars): Love this recipe, made it using a mix of nuts and it turned out very delicious. Do you think I can crushed some and mix it into a cupcake batter?
Taylormade4you on 2022-08-16 (5 stars): This recipe was a bit of a problem for me…I made ahead of time to freeze for my popcorn nut and candy table, for my high school reunion. We’ll, bad thing is I put them in ziplock bag to freeze…bad idea!! That made it all the easier to get my little paws in there for “just a few” a few too many times!! AND, I had made a double batch! We’ll I am now making another double batch, hopefully will keep my hands out of it! Delicious and easy!! Freezes great…we’ll…still don’t know for how long, considering they haven’t ever lasted in there…thank you for recipe! I’m going to stalk you and see if you have any other nut recipes
