Caramelised nuts FAQs
How do you caramelise nuts?
To caramelise nuts, add your choice of nuts to a frying pan along with sugar and butter. Heat over a medium heat until the nuts are fully coated and browned. You can also coat nuts in a mixture of beaten egg whites and sugar and bake in the oven until caramelised.
Are caramelised nuts healthy?
Caramelised nuts are a delicious snack that can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy and balanced diet. Nuts are a source of protein, fibre, and essential fats.
What is the difference between glazed and candied nuts?
Glazed nuts are typically made through caramelisation, cooking the nuts with sugar and butter on the stove until they’re browned. Candied nuts are usually made by coating the nuts in a sugar syrup or a mixture of sugar and egg whites, creating a sweet, white coating.
What are caramelised nuts called?
Caramelised nuts are also known as glazed nuts, or sometimes candied nuts, though they are created slightly differently. Candied almonds are also known as praline.

Caramelised nuts
Nuts are irresistibly moreish but caramelising them makes them even better! Whether you’re serving them to friends at a party or making yourself the ideal movie nibbles, they’re pretty unbeatable. You can customise them to your taste by using whatever mix of nuts you like. Cashews, peanuts, almonds, and pecans all work perfectly, so you could mix them all up or just stick to your favourite nut.
Spice things up
Cinnamon is a great spice for making caramelised nuts, but you can experiment with all sorts of flavours. Add a drop of vanilla or cocoa powder, or some crushed cardamom. A bit of grated nutmeg also works well. Add a bit of zing with some orange zest or add heat with chilli flakes or cayenne pepper.
How to store caramelised nuts
Once your caramelised nuts have cooked and cooled, you can store them in an airtight container for a couple of weeks at room temperature. If you want them to last a bit longer, keep them in the fridge. You can also freeze caramelised nuts for up to a couple of months.
