These are the best! I’ve been making these for a couple of years now. Just never got around to giving you the five stars you deserve. My husband can eat a whole batch in a couple of hours. Every time I serve them or give them as a gift, I give the recipe out as well. Everyone loves them! I especially like being able to make them in a skillet instead of baking. I will have to try your recipe for baking them sometime, though. 🙂
Aww thank you, Connie! 😊 I’m truly so happy to hear you’ve been enjoying the recipe so much. Your kind words are truly making my day right now. And how sweet of you to give them out as gifts! Here’s to many more years of cinnamon maple deliciousness!❤️
These look delicious, I know you mentioned they can last in an airtight container for up to a month, do you think they could last longer if so how long? I am playing around with making roasted nuts with natural ingredients and want to know long they can be kept in an airtight container safely without spoiling?
Hi Jamie, I’ve kept mine for up to two months in some cases. Just make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to make them last as long as possible. Enjoy!
Cooked exactly as recipe instructs. These are delicious!
Woohoo!! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed my recipe, Summer. 🙂 Happy eating!
YUM! My Daughters one request for our Thanksgiving Dinner “Must Have”. I make these for snacking plus to top our sweet potatoes to give them an extra special touch.
Thank You

Demeter, I love all your easy sweet treat recipes and I love everything with coconut sugar. It adds an extra caramelized flavor to everything.
Thank you Emese! . And I agree, coconut sugar is just the best! .
I came across your recipe on Pinterest and just finished making them. I used half cashews and pecans and they came out great. Over the years I’ve tried many different recipes for candied nuts and yours is the best! I love that you use coconut oil and sugar, which I always have on hand. Thank you for a great recipe, this will be my go to recipe from now on for candied nuts.
Woohoo! So happy to hear your enjoyed them Patty! . Love the combo of cashews and pecans—two of m faves! . Thank you for taking the time to stop by and share the results with me!
Hi,
This looks really good and I was wondering what I can use in place of coconut oil. I’m allergic to coconuts. I really want to try this. Please let me know something. Also how many carbs do they have. I’m on a low carb lifestyle.
Hi Debi! You might try your favorite cooking oil. Keep in mind that your choice of oil will affect the flavor and texture of the nuts. Enjoy!
