Description
This is a great candied nut recipe I stole from my mom. She likes walnuts, I like pecans. It’s dead easy and my wife says she needs to leave the house when I make them, so she won’t eat them all! Try experimenting with the spices, maybe clove or allspice!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
