Candied walnuts are a sweet and crunchy treat made by coating walnut halves in a mixture of sugar, butter, and sometimes spices like cinnamon or vanilla before baking or caramelizing them. Originating as a popular snack and topping in American and European cuisines, these nuts are often used to enhance salads, desserts, or served on their own. While walnuts are naturally rich in healthy fats, omega-3s, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, the candying process adds significant amounts of sugar and calories. Moderation is key when enjoying candied walnuts, as their added sugars can outweigh some of the heart-healthy benefits of the base nut. For a lighter version, recipes often substitute refined sugar with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. They offer a delightful combination of texture and flavor, appealing to both nut fans and those with a sweet tooth.
