Looking for a quick recipe for a last-minute holiday party? Or how about a healthy snack to munch on while you wrap gifts? Either way, these Chai Spiced Candied Pecans are here to keep the festive atmosphere going!
Making spiced nuts is incredibly easy, it just takes a little time and attention. This isn’t the type of recipe you can start and then get distracted by something else. It can go from ready to burned fairly quickly, so keep that in mind. However, it only takes about 5-7 minutes of devoted attention, and it’s so worth it for the end result.
The base for this recipe calls for butter, sugar, and pecan halves. But if you don’t like pecans — or simply want to use what you have on hand — feel free to swap them out for just about any other nut option. Walnuts, almonds, and cashews all work well. Just be sure to keep an eye on them as they roast as some nuts will brown faster than others.
To take these homemade candied nuts from “pretty good” to “utterly addictive” we used Chai Bliss to add all the craveable spiced flavors you long for this time of year.
Of course, Chai Bliss does so much more than taste delicious. The classic blend of superfood spices is full of antioxidants. And the addition of natural nootropics like L-theanine and astragalus helps boost brain energy, focus, and immunity, while zinc and lion’s mane further help support cognitive function and immunity. Chai Bliss is the perfect nourishing companion for this time of year. *
Whether you want a healthy snack to nosh on or a little something sweet to give away as a gift, these Chai Spiced Candied Pecans are sure to be a hit. Give the recipe a try ASAP!
