DIRECTIONS:
If you’ve ever walked down the streets of New York City,
you will know exactly what I’m talking about – the smell of
those candied Street nuts is delicious 😋
In a dry clean skillet add dry roasted unsalted nuts 🥜-
peanuts, almonds, pecans etc, sugar and water. Over
medium heat stir for approximately five – seven minutes
until water evaporates and mixture seizes and you are left
with sugar crystals coating the nuts keep stirring until the
sugar melts once again and begins to caramelize this
should take approximately another 3 to 4 minutes. Do not
leave and keep constantly stirring as they will burn quickly.
Once sugar has caramelized remove from heat and add a
splash of vanilla and mix well. At this point you could also
add a sprinkle of cinnamon or some chili powder or cocoa
powder if you wanted different flavored candied nuts. Lay
out on parchment lined cookie sheet to cool completely
before storing in container. Note 📝- The mixture will go
from wet to dry and back to wet again.
