However, I recently learned that not only can you make similar nuts at home, but they are quick to make and super easy. 5 minutes will net you fresh caramelized nuts for snacking, and they taste way better than the weeks old ones you find in stores. This snack recipe can be served for dessert, as a party appetizer, on salads or packed in a bag with your lunch. Take them to work, to school, on a picnic. Mine usually don’t make it past my kitchen, though 😉
