The Story Behind this Recipe
This recipe is actually from my great-grandmother’s church cookbook. My mom and auntie called it the Dutch cookbook because it also has many Dutch recipes. My mom grew up on this spiced nut recipe. She would give her neighbors and teachers tins of spiced nuts for Christmas.
My mom then passed this recipe down to me. She made this recipe for my brother and me when I was a little kid. We put them in those fancy decorative bowls that you put on the table. As much as we loved these spiced nuts, something was missing. There was a secret ingredient that we needed. Wanna hear the secret to amazing spiced nuts?
The Secret to the Best Spiced Nuts
The secret is vanilla! Yesterday, when making these, I tried adding vanilla, thinking it would make this recipe even better. I didn’t know what to expect. Would it be amazing or terrible? Thankfully, it was amazing! Everyone in my household ate them up. All these years, vanilla has been what this recipe was missing!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add any other flavorings, like orange oil for Christmas? You can certainly try! If you try adding any other flavorings in addition to vanilla, like orange oil, please tell me if it works!
Can I use any nuts other than walnuts? Pecans and almonds would work, but I’m not sure about peanuts. If you do try peanuts, you would have to be gentle and break them apart really well after they’re done. Also make sure to measure accurately.
How long can I keep these for? You can keep these as long as they aren’t stale, but I think that they’ll be gone in a day. If you need to keep these for a long time, keep them sealed in a plastic container in a dark, cool space.

The Best Spiced Nuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- First, grease the pot you're using and a plate. Mix sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in the pan on medium heat. When it gets to a rolling boil, add the walnuts.
- Next, mix the nuts with the sugar mixture. Bring it back to a rolling boil.
- Then, take the pan of the heat and stir contantly without breaking the nuts. This is when you add the vanilla. When no more sugar mixture pools at the bottom of the pan and the sugar is crystalized, transfer to a greased plate.
- Finally, wait for the spiced nuts to cool. This should take about 5 minutes. Enjoy your spiced nuts!
