A delicious snack that has the balance between sweet and salty, with a touch of cinnamon and a crunchy sugary coating. We used Naú Walnut Mix with Apple, Cranberries, Pepita and Raisins, and we also added Naú Baked Cashews. We love adding these candied nuts to yogurt or eating them as a snack that we can include in the school or work lunchbox.

To make it crisp, it is important to spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. If necessary, use two medium-sized pans that fit inside the oven in case the one you have is not large enough. The nut mix is stirred every 10 minutes for a total time of 40 minutes. Before storing them in their airtight container, they must cool completely.

They last approximately 3 weeks in an airtight container, but they probably won’t last that long!
