If you like walnuts then you will love these easy sugar glazed walnuts. I can’t even tell you how easy these sugary nuts are to make. I love to add them to our salads along with cranberries and my Asian Salad Dressing recipe. But, if you just like to munch on them as a snack that works well too. You may find that a full recipe isn’t enough, you might want to double the recipe.
These Sugared Glazed Walnuts can be eaten as a snack or a crunchy sweet topping to a salad. It takes only a couple of minutes to make and they are eaten quickly. Store for later or use immediately.

My salads always consist of fruits, apples, cranberries, and bananas. These sugared glazed walnuts are the perfect combination of this salad.
