Candied Orange Walnuts (Connie's) image

My family has been making these walnuts for years. I do not know if they were "invented" by a family member or gotten out of another resource. I do know they're a big hit around the holidays. I put them in cellophane bags to give as gifts. I suppose you could make it with different nuts or extracts, just never have bothered....

I followed the recipe exactly but my walnuts didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

These walnuts are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, but I really enjoyed these candied orange walnuts. The orange glaze is so good and it really complements the walnuts. I'll definitely be making these again.
