Pumpkin Spice Candied Nuts are a yummy snack or party treat! Mixed nuts are coated in a pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar and butter mixture!
- 2 cups mixed nuts (roasted, salted)
- 1 cup brown sugar light or dark
- 4 Tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 Tablespoons water
-
Place brown sugar, butter, and pumpkin pie spice in a large saucepan. Turn the heat to Medium-High and cook, stirring often, to combine. Continue to cook until butter has melted and mixture is thick and smooth. Add nuts and water to the pan; stir to combine with brown sugar mixture.
-
Bring mixture to a boil on Medium-High heat. Once liquid has reached a full, rolling boil, set a timer for 3 minutes. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. When done, liquid should've thickened, reduced, and glazed the mixed nuts. Remove pan from the heat.
-
Immediately pour candied nuts onto a sheet of parchment paper in a single layer. Use a fork to quickly separate the nuts as much as possible. (before topping hardens). Once the "candied topping" has cooled enough to be safe to touch, separate the nuts; spread them back out on the parchment paper to finish drying.
-
Let the candied nuts dry until completely cool and the glaze has hardened on all sides (about 10-15 minutes). Place the nuts (once fully cooled) in an airtight container to store (for up to a week). Serve and enjoy!
