Candied Nuts

This recipe for candied nuts is the easiest and quickest one I have found for making delicious nuts.  It just takes two ingredients - nuts and sugar.  That is it.  I found this marvelous recipe on the Our Best Bites Website.
You heat the nuts - it can be any nut or combination and the sugar together in a skillet and stir with a spatula until the sugar has melted.  Remove the nuts from the pan and let them cool on some parchment paper.    Eat when they are cool.  That is it:)  Told you this was an easy recipe.

These are great as a snack or as a topping for your salad, ice cream, yogurt, or to mix in with some trail mix.     They are delicious whichever way you chose to enjoy them.

1/2 cup nuts
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Notes: You may want to toast certain varieties of nuts first and then add the sugar to caramelize. Pre-roasted nuts like peanuts (pictured) and cashews, don't need toasting.
