Slow Cooker Candied Nuts

Almost one month into the new year and we are still doing well with our resolution to eat healthier. January meal planning has been filled with lots of vegetables, lean meats and filling soups. It feels like we are back on track after a month of parties. But we can’t help ourselves. We can’t wait for Super Bowl Sunday and all the food that comes with it. I will be making these candied nuts to take with us to our party.

These candied nuts are really simple to make. The slow cooker does all the work for you. You do need to make them the day before you need them, so that they have a chance to dry overnight. I like to use a mix of nuts for the variety, but you can use whatever nuts you prefer. Almonds are really delicious, all by themselves.

Candied nuts will last up to one month if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place or up to six months in the freezer.
