Notes
- These salted caramel candied walnuts with rosemary are a delicious, flavorful and healthy snack made in just 10 minutes with 5 simple ingredients.
- They make a perfect holiday snack and homemade edible Christmas gift. You can add them to salads as well (see Serving Options).
- If the nuts are too sticky, spread them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and bake to dry them out a bit more.
- If the walnuts are not coated evenly, you probably need more caramel mixture. Add more sugar and continue cooking until it melts and coats the nuts.
- These candied nuts will last about two weeks in an airtight container on the counter. You can add another week or two by keeping them in a dark, cool place like a pantry.
- You can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- If you don't have walnuts, use pecans, almonds, cashews, or a nut mix.
- Brown sugar can be swapped with Demerara sugar, coconut sugar, regular white sugar or even honey or maple syrup for extra flavor.
- Skip the cayenne and/or sea salt if you prefer.
- You can leave out the rosemary too, if you wish or use other herbs like thyme, oregano or sage. You can also use dried rosemary.
