Janis on 2025-01-19 (5 stars): Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Did pecans and walnuts!!!! Cannot wait to try more of your recipes!
Peace.
Mary on 2024-09-21 (4 stars): I would use 1/4C of brown sugar instead of 1/3 - was too syrupy.
Cheryl L Hawkins on 2024-02-22 (5 stars): Have you ever added these caramelized walnuts to banana bread
Michele A McMillan on 2024-01-08 (5 stars): Perfect, I also like to add a pinch of cayenne.
Ava Jantelagen on 2023-12-24 (3 stars): Why do all “Foodies” on the internet basically string you along and make you scroll thru endless pages of their personal opinions & never ending stories first ?? They all do it! Ugh! It’s a waste of my time and annoying, no matter how good the recipe is. Just give me the ingredients and instructions please.
LittleJohn's Spot C/O JD SANTIAGO on 2023-11-20 (5 stars): Amazing and awesome sauce
Roxane Mashayekhi on 2023-10-30 (5 stars): These have a WOW factor for sure. Have made several times. Am bringing as gifts for friends around the holidays.
Alli F. on 2023-10-18 (5 stars): I made them and they are DELICIOUS!!! I used maple syrup instead of the brown sugar, doubled the amount of cinnamon and added a little sprinkle of cayenne pepper! Can’t taste the cayenne pepper at all….but there are health benefits from it, so it’s all good!
