Can you use any sugar substitute?
Whether you prefer erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener, feel free to swap out the brown sugar substitute with your favorite alternative. Experiment with different ratios to find the perfect balance of sweetness for your taste buds. The versatility of sugar substitutes makes this recipe suitable for various dietary preferences, including Keto, paleo, and diabetic-friendly diets.
How to customize this recipe?
While the base recipe for candied walnuts is delicious on its own, you can easily customize it to suit your preferences. Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for a warm, spicy flavor. For an extra kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili powder to create sweet and spicy walnuts. If you're a fan of chocolate, toss in some sugar-free chocolate chips after baking for a decadent twist.
How to store these candied walnuts?
Once you've whipped up a batch of these irresistible candied walnuts, you'll want to ensure they stay fresh for as long as possible. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. To maintain their crispiness, avoid exposing them to moisture or humidity. If you're making a large batch, consider dividing them into smaller portions and storing them in individual snack bags for convenient grab-and-go treats. Enjoy them straight from the container or use them as toppings for salads, yogurt, or desserts for an extra crunch.
