Candied Walnuts and Pecans
Right now, my life is all about these Candied Walnuts and Pecans.
Yes, I’m in love. These are so easy to make that you should stop reading right now and go make them.
You can eat them by the handful or put them in lots of dishes like salads, granola, or even on top of pancakes or French toast.
You won’t regret making these. I promise. I also think these would be great sprinkled on top of rice pudding.
Feel free to use all walnuts or pecans, it’s your life. You do you, boo!

yum! These walnuts sound divine. What a tough assignment! I’d like to be a full time blogger in 5 years! I can tell you that.
I`m completely unsure, but I would like to have a good career! 🙂
Love candied nuts, I usually end up eating way more than I should!
Stopped reading when I got to the recipe. Made the candied nuts and came back to finish reading. EXCELLENT recipe, thank you…
A five year plan is like a business plan: people should write one but rarely do.
I’d like to be eating a handful of these while taking a hayride and wearing a sweater that I have in the intervening five years learned how to knit myself and also own a house. The house is not on the hayride.
P.S. Just found your blog – and I love it! Too cute! I went majorly pin-happy. Did you do your own background illustration?
haha! thank you. I did not do the background illustration, it was done by my designer (http://loveandoliveoil.com!)
