Deep-Fried Candied Nuts

These DIY Savory-Sweet Party Snacks Will Keep Guests Coming Back for More

— September 28, 2015 — Lifestyle
This candied nuts recipe from ChefSteps will be an instant party classic.

Coated in a glassy layer of sweet candy and then deep-fried, the candied nuts are a flavorful, delectable treat. They can be made with any variety of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, cashews or almonds. When put out in a bowl at any social gathering, the candied nuts look elegant and are sure to be eaten up quickly. They can also be stored in the pantry and used as a topper for waffles, sundaes, salads or parfaits.

It used to be acceptable to serve prepared treats and snacks at a party, but with the rise of maker culture and the increasing desire to eat healthily, social convention has shifted toward offering homemade goodies to guests. These DIY candied nuts are the perfect solution for any gathering.
Trend Themes
1. Homemade Party Snacks - The trend of homemade party snacks can be capitalized on by caterers and personal chefs to create bespoke treats for clients.
2. Innovative Nut Coatings - Experimentation with alternative nut coatings such as savory, spicy or umami flavored coatings could disrupt the traditional market of sweet candied nuts.
3. Functional Party Foods - The trend of using party snacks that are multi-purpose such as candied nuts that can be used as a topper for salads and parfaits is an opportunity for food companies to market functional party foods.
Industry Implications
1. Catering - Catering companies can use the trend of homemade party snacks to offer bespoke treats to clients that are healthier and more unique than pre-made snacks.
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can experiment with alternative nut coatings to disrupt the traditional market of sweet candied nuts.
3. Food Retail - Food retail companies can market functional party foods by offering products that can be used in multiple ways such as candied nuts that can be used as a topper for salads and parfaits.
