The delicious smell of these roasting in the oven will fill your house with warm cinnamon and vanilla flavors. These candied walnuts have a crisp sweet outer shell and the roasting really amps up their earthy, nutty taste. They are great on a cheeseboard, paired with some blue cheese and persimmons, or you can toss them with some butter lettuce and tart dried cranberries for a tasty fall salad. The recipe is endlessly customizable; some people like to add a little kick of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon. Sometimes I like to use rum flavoring and nutmeg to make an eggnog inspired version. You can even add a dash more sea salt for a truly sweet and salty taste. Also feel free to use any kind of nut or nut mix, make sure they are raw, or they will become overcooked.
