Sweet and Salty Candied Nuts

IN THIS POST

A combination of walnuts, cashews and almonds are tossed in a soft caramel-like sauce. After they are baked to golden perfection, a sugary residue is left to adhere to the salty nuts. After they are cooled and broken into chunks, these sweet and salty candied nuts are the perfect quick sweet snack and are best served on top of brownies or ice cream!

So I definitely posted this recipe the other day with my Skillet Brownies with Salty and Sweet Candied Nuts, but I thought it was completely necessary to create a post just for these candied nuts. I apologize for being extremely redundant. ;)

Many times when I post a recipe(s), I think to myself … “this post should definitely be two posts (or three posts … or four posts).” I understand that it can be extremely overwhelming for some of you to have too many recipes going on in one post. It’s going to take me a while to go back through 400+ recipes and split up the ones I think need to be divided, so I’m starting easy with these sweet and salty candied nuts.

I hope you guys enjoy and have a wonderful weekend! xo
