I must admit that I feel guilty putting up a non-smoked recipe on this site, but if you want, adapt to smoking, but really you don't need to. Besides, this is quicker!!
Slamdunk's soon to be World Famous Sugar coated Walnuts
This recipe, which I have copied for some website, can be adjusted to the quantities you desire, however I tell ya, what-ever quantity you make won't last long!!!
2 cups of Walnuts.
1 cup of brown sugar – I used Demerara – heavy on the molasses which gives a different sugary taste!!
1 tablespoon Cinnamon powder
½ cup warm water
Start by preheating oven to 300 degrees.
While the oven is heating up, grab a frying pan and put in the sugar, cinnamon and warm water.(Warm water will help to dissolve the sugar/spices into a nice liquid.) Stir ingredients up and then add walnuts.
Turn heat on to medium high.
Continuously stir/mix up the walnuts and spices until the water has just about evaporated - 5- 10 minutes.
While the evaporation/reduction process is going on, grab some cookie sheet pan(s) -(one pan will be enough for two cups of walnuts)- and line with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with PAM or something similar so the nuts won't stick to the foil.
After the water/spice mix has just about evaporated, (don't leave too much liquid as that will cause a hassle later on ) take the nuts and spread them onto the cookie sheet(s) and put them into the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Take them out after 15 minutes and spread/stir the nuts around. Take regular table salt and sprinkle some on – not too much, just about as much as you'd put on any other meal you prepare. Put them back in the 300 degree oven for another 15 minutes.
Take them out and spread the nuts around.
Let them sit until cool.
You won't believe the difference in taste when you let them cool off and dry up!!
Enjoy with a cold beverage or two!!
Don't feel bad man, this is for anything you want to put here.
That really sound good and delicious!

Made a couple of batches on the weekend with almonds......wow they were good, didn't last long.
First batch lasted about 20 min, had to make a second batch..that lasted about the same.
So easy to make.
