Easy Candied Maple Walnuts Recipes

EASY MAPLE CANDIED WALNUTS - FOR SNACKING OR GIFTS

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk together syrup, oil, cinnamon and salt. Spread walnuts in a 9×13 baking dish and pour topping over the nuts.
• Stir well with a spoon. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, watching carefully so they don't burn.
