Texan BBQ Candied Nuts

Recipe video above. These Texan BBQ flavoured candied nuts are my current nibbling obsession. Savoury enough for pre-dinner drinks. Just sweet enough to be an after dinner treat! You could even package them up and gift - assuming they don't mysteriously "disappear" beforehand....Use any nuts you want. Similar size nuts are ideal, though when I'm feeling lazy I just grab a bag of mixed nuts. Just make sure they're unsalted.

📝 Preparation Steps

Abbreviated recipe:

Simmer candied coating ⏱️ 2 min, toss with nuts, bake ⏱️ 20 min at 180°C/350°F (160°C fan), tossing halfway. Break up while warm, fully cool. Attack!

Full recipe:

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced). Line a large tray with foil then baking paper (parchment).

Nuts - Put the nuts in a bowl.

Candied coating - Put the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once mostly melted, add all the remaining candied coating ingredients. Stir, then once it comes to a simmer, reduce stove to medium low so it's simmering gently for ⏱️ 2 minutes, stirring regularly so it doesn’t catch.

Toss - Pour over the nuts, toss well - take about ⏱️ 30 seconds, use a rubber spatula. It should be quite thick and coat the nuts well, no runny caramel pooling at bottom of bowl.

Bake - Spread on tray, bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes, tossing well at the halfway mark, until the nuts are deep golden. There should be hardly any candy coating liquid left on the tray.

Break up - Cool undisturbed on the tray for ⏱️ 10 minutes then break it up while still warm (separates better). Then leave to fully cool on the tray - the candy coating will fully harden (about ⏱️ 30 minutes). (Note 4 if nut surface is not shiny smooth)

Uses - Serve in bowls for snacking (brilliant bar snack), fill jars for gifting, add to platters, chop and sprinkle on salads. Adding a sprinkle of sea salt is a nice finishing touch.
