  1. Walnuts are the healthiest nuts out of all of them – I’ve read that they contain twice the antioxidants of other common nuts! That’s another excuse for me to eat more of these goodies :) And yes, they are extremely easy to make!

  2. Thank you for such an easy recipe! I remember these as a young girl many moons ago. One of my favorite holiday treats, and now I can share the simple joy of candied walnuts with my grandchildren.
