Oh-So-Easy Candied Nuts

This isn't even a recipe... it's more of a technique. I've had some pretty crazy salty/sweet cravings lately, so I decided to make some candied nuts. This delicious snack takes only minutes to make, and the result is walnuts covered in a salty, sweet and sticky coating. These are perfect as snack-on-the-go in a lunchbox or for anytime you need a little treat! Enjoy!

Oh-So-Easy Candied Nuts
Makes 2 cups

Ingredients
2 cups walnut halves, pecans, or other nut of your choice
1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
1/4 tsp. kosher salt

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the nuts, syrup, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the syrup is thickened and caramelized.  Spread out the candied nuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool. Yum!
