Tips:

Choose the right nuts: Pecans, walnuts, almonds, and cashews are all great options for candied nuts. You can also use a mix of different nuts.
Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts will have a better flavor and texture than nuts that have been sitting around for a while.
Roast the nuts before candying them: Roasting the nuts will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
Stir the nuts constantly: Stirring the nuts constantly will help to prevent them from burning and sticking to the pan.
Let the nuts cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Candied nuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great addition to salads, desserts, and trail mixes. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can make candied nuts that are sure to impress your friends and family.
