Quick and Easy Candied Nuts

Step by step

1. 1

   In a pot, add the sugar and water — just enough to moisten the sugar. Cook over the highest heat until all the sugar dissolves and it starts to thicken slightly (without taking on any color).

   
2. 2

   Add the peanuts and the almonds, stir constantly and turn off the heat.

   
3. 3

   When all the peanuts and almonds are coated in sugar and it's no longer liquid, turn the heat back on to minimum and keep stirring until it takes on color.

   
4. 4

   Once it reaches the desired color, turn off the heat and keep stirring until it cools down.
