These vegan candied walnuts are an irresistible treat that’s surprisingly easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, including aquafaba – the liquid from canned chickpeas – you can create a crunchy, sweet snack. The aquafaba acts as a plant-based alternative to egg whites, binding the walnuts together and creating a glossy, caramelized finish. The combination of sweet coconut sugar with a touch of salt balances the flavors perfectly. Use them as a topping for vegan ice cream, yogurt or oatmeal, or enjoy them on their own as a wholesome snack.
