How to Make Candied Walnut?
Candied Walnut Recipe is really easy to make. For this Honey Spiced Candied Walnut, you need Honey, salt, Chili Powder, Garam Masala, Cinnamon Powder and Oil. The spice level can be easily customizable. Start with making a mixture of honey and all the spices. Toss Walnut with the spiced honey mixture. Then bake in a pre-heated oven. First honey would melt and the mixture would look very liquidy. Gradually honey starts to caramelize and coat the walnuts. Keep mixing the walnut in intervals to coat the walnuts evenly. Towards the end you need to watch closely, else it might burn very quickly. At the end of baking time, honey will thicken up and stick to the nuts. The nuts might still feel a little sticky when you take them out of the oven. It hardens once it cools down. When it has cooled down but is still a little warm, we are going to toss it with light brown sugar. Tossing in sugar gives a crispy coating to the nuts and it will not feel sticky to touch.
