Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed nuts (unsalted, such as almonds, pecans, cashews, and walnuts)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons Smucker's Syrup (Caramel or Maple recommended)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), and kosher salt. Stir until the nuts are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the Smucker's Syrup and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the syrup mixture over the spiced nuts and toss well to ensure every nut is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and the glaze has caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely. As they cool, the glaze will harden and create a crunchy coating.

Step 8

Break apart any clusters and transfer the candied spiced nuts to an airtight container for storage. These nuts can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.
