I’m bringing you a short and sweet recipe today because these candied nuts are SO easy to make. Bake them for your friends, family, or all for yourself. But fair warning, one bite and you won’t be able to stop eating them!
Easy candied nuts recipe
If you bring these to your next Holiday party, they’ll be gone before the party even starts. These candied nuts are SO addictive and SO delicious.
What makes it even better is how easy they are to make. You’re basically just coating them in sugar and baking them. That’s it! Which is why this recipe is perfect for any last minute Holiday gatherings or gifts!
For my recipe, I use equal parts cashews, almonds, and pecans but feel free to use any nut you like. I also think it would be a fun idea to scoop some into gift bags along with toffee bits or chocolate chips. Uhh talk about best gift ever.
I know, a surprisingly short post, especially coming from me, but this should be a direct reflection of this recipe. It’s no fuss, quick, easy, and sure to impress.

Hi! I’m excited to try these for the upcoming holidays. How long do they last? Should they be stored at room temperature or in the fridge?
They’ll last up to week at room temp 🙂 keep in an air tight container.
Oh my gosh, these are amazing! I don’t understand why there aren’t more comments singing their praises.
These are so easy and delicious. I’ve been making them to have out when guests come over and everyone always thinks I’m so fancy when I say I made them!

Aw yay!! Thanks for sharing Kelly!
Hello! I just made these and although they taste good, they taste a little chard, too. At what setting should I have kept the oven?
Thank you!
Your oven may run too hot, or you can try taking the nuts out a bit earlier. Keep an eye on them as they bake very quickly!
