Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Brandied Candied Walnuts Snack.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for some delicious candied walnuts.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with walnut halves, a splash of brandy, a dash of vanilla extract, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and the bright zest of orange juice.
Step 3
Give everything a good toss until those walnuts are beautifully coated in the sweet mixture.
Step 4
Next, spread the walnut blend evenly onto a cookie sheet, making sure they have plenty of room to roast to perfection.
Step 5
Pop the cookie sheet into your preheated oven and let the walnuts bake for about 20 minutes, remembering to stir them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and develop that irresistible crunch.
Step 6
Once they’re golden and fragrant, take the cookie sheet out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining cup of sugar over the hot walnuts.
Step 7
Mix them well to ensure every walnut is generously coated in that sweet goodness.

Finally, let your candied walnuts cool completely before serving, and get ready to enjoy a delightful treat that’s perfect for snacking or adding a special touch to your favorite dishes!.
