Vanilla Walnuts

The minute I saw these posted I had to try them, especially since I was really jetlagged and had to occupy myself with something constructive at 4 in the morning. I made these with a mix of walnuts, whole almonds and pecans. WOW (caps intended)!!! The mix of spicy and sweet is addictive. I'm going to make a batch just to chop them up and mix into vanilla ice cream, it should be mind-blowing! Ginny, I'm so glad I got you hooked on spiced nuts, just so you could find this one for me! A thousand thanks!

5 stars x 1000. OMG these are simply AWESOME!!!! My husband and I used to take a road trip every season to see a minor league hockey team in Huntsville AL. They served a sugar-spiced walnut at the games and we would buy several bags and bring them home because they were so good. I have not found them anywhere else, and that team no longer exists, so we have really been missing those nuts, until now! These are pretty darn close and have become our favorite nuts. Ginny, your instructions are first rate. The recipe was very easy to follow and the results were just perfect. I have only tried a few times in the past to make spiced nut with very poor results(TRASH CAN). Your step by step instructions made it so easy. I also tried this with pecan halves. Just delicious. Only change with the pecans, I added 1/8 tsp more salt, as I have found fresh pecans to need a little more salt. Thanks so very much for posting this recipe.

YUMMY!!! Oh my goodness, these nuts were so delicious. I made a double batch and the were demolished during the Thanksgiving holidays. The sugar-spice taste is to die for. I printed off copies of the recipe and gave them out to everyone. We think this is a winner. Thanks.

I made 3 different types of nuts for Christmas gift-giving and this one was by far my favorite. Really savory... Had the last little baggie this week!

I made these twice this Christmas season - once as written, and once substituting "birch sugar" (also known as Xylitol) for the granulated sugar, as requested by my diabetic father in law. Both turned out well. I had to bake them close to an hour, but I'm sure that's due to me making them in a tabletop roaster oven rather than a "normal" oven, coz that's what I've got at the moment. I loved the subtle spices and vanilla combined with the light sweetness & crunch. Thanks for sharing, Ginny!

Oh my GOD, these are such a winner!! I have never made spiced nuts before--I just made a few to send to my fiance's family for christmas gifts. They are truly delicious--not oily at all, and really complex-tasting with the allspice/nutmeg/salt/coriander/cinnamon/pepper combo. I did use kosher salt--I think normal iodized salt would bring down the quality of the recipe. Also used real vanilla--can't imagine using the fake junk. Really terrific, GinnyP, although I have yet to hear from the future ILs!

This one got rave reviews in my home! :) I mixed all the nuts I had on-hand (walnuts, almonds, AND pecans - and made this recipe today. I'm thinking they may disappear into DH's lunch tomorrow - I won't be surprised if they're "missing" from my kitchen! Thanks for sharing!

These were bland to us. I'm going to add some extra seasoning and see if the family will eat them. They just aren't going as-is.

Loved the flavor. I was helping DH in the basement so it was my fault that some of them were burned. So do not go away they need to be checked on. Will make these again soon but stay close.

I'm updating this review. I'm not a big nut eater, so at first these were just okay, but then they began to grow on me. Now i love them! I think that they are especially good chilled.

These were terrific, everybody loved them and there were no leftovers. Only change I made was to use grapeseed oil.

Loved these! The only thing I changed was using canola instead of corn oil. It seemed to work just fine. Watch them closely while they're baking-they get overdone easily. Thanks!

It was okay. I left out the vanilla, so thats probaly why they didnt taste that good.

This was a great recipe and I will use it often since my grandpa is always giving me walnuts and I usually don't know what to do with them. I received a lot of compliments about how good these walnuts tasted. I really liked the subtle sweet spice taste.

Wow -- I have been trying lots of different snack nut recipes for my husband's business trips... and this one has won out over all others. It is just delicious and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for posting this recipe! Dianne

These nuts were delicious. I added the seasonings to the sugar to help assure they distributed well (due to another person's comment in their review), and this worked great.
