- Candied nuts are a nice addition to salads. Try them on top of a salad made with greens and beets. They are also great on ice cream or with a piece of fruit or just by themselves.
- This recipe has no butter and less maple syrup per nut compared with other recipes.
- I wanted a recipe that used maple syrup and the oven (not a skillet). I also wanted to make a big batch (one pound of walnuts -- that's about 6 cups). For most recipes that meant using a cup or more of maple syrup which would be quite expensive.
- Walnut halves make a great presentation but these are so yummy no one will complain it you use chopped nuts.
- I'm pretty sure this recipe could also be made with pecans or mixed nuts.
- I've made this recipe twice and I'm still playing with the flavorings. Have fun experimenting with you favorite flavors.
