CINNAMON CANDIED WALNUTS
Credit goes to Dawn for these Walnuts! I found this recipe on another website and I am posting this on this website because it's where I keep all my recipes and will want to make these again! I used them in a salad and everyone raved - they couldn't put their finger on what made the walnuts so good (it's the cinnamon).

Tips:
- Choose fresh walnuts: Fresh walnuts will give you the best flavor and texture. Look for walnuts that are plump and have a light brown color.
- Toast the walnuts before using: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices you use in your crusted cinnamon walnuts will determine the overall flavor. You can use a simple combination of cinnamon and sugar, or you can add other spices such as nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom.
- Don't overcook the walnuts: Overcooked walnuts will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Let the walnuts cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and become crispy.
Conclusion:
Crusted cinnamon walnuts are a delicious and versatile snack or topping. They can be enjoyed on their own, or added to yogurt, oatmeal, salads, or desserts. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crusted cinnamon walnuts every time.
