  1. Delicious! And I was able to stretch the recipe to 4 cups of walnut halves with no problem. It takes about an hour from start to finish, but the coating needs to set a couple of hours in order for them not to stick together.
     
  2. The best and easiest on the web
     
  3. Very tasty nuts! I found the precise directions to be especially helpful. I liked the hint of citrus from the orange zest in particular. I halved the recipe, but used 2 cups of nuts, and it came out perfect. These will be great tossed on salads. Thanks!
     
  4. It does take quite a while to reach 236 degrees (about 30 minutes). These were well received by friends in my annual Christmas cookie/goody baskets. Thanks for the recipe and precise directions.
     
  5. Very, very good just takes patience to reach 236 degrees. Next time I will make a double batch.
