Candied Nuts ~ Christmas Treats

Candied nuts are a great way to elevate salads, veggies or meats. Great for a charcuterie board or just snacking. So addictive!

Raw nuts, any variety
For every cup of nuts you will need:
1/4 c. sugar (white, brown, honey or maple syrup)
1 T. butter
1 - 2 t. water (more water will make a glaze)
Spices and vanilla to taste

I used:
1 lb. raw pecans
4 T. butter
1 c. lightly packed light brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 T. water
1/2 t. sea salt
1 t. vanilla
