Coffee Glazed Nuts
If you’re planning a party and need a light appetizer, these coffee glazed nuts are just what the doctor ordered. The sweet and bitter coffee flavor adds a nice touch to the hearty nuts.
If you serve them in a fancy bowl, your guests will think you went all out for extravagant snacks. Truth be told, this recipe is so simple, you can put it together in under five minutes.
If you can brew coffee, you can make these nuts. And who doesn’t have a coffee maker on hand? If you don’t – just pick up some instant coffee and make it double strength.
If you don’t have a coffee maker … then you probably don’t drink much coffee (I don’t know how you survive!) but you need some reason to use up that whole jar of instant coffee!
My entire family drinks coffee and tea. We start drinking tea with cream and sugar in grade school and work our way up to rich, black, wonderful expresso by the time we graduate from college.
I can’t imagine a house not having a coffee maker (or even a Kurig) but I hear that such places exist.
I have nearly a dozen coffee makers in my house. That’s another story, however, so I’ll save it for another time. Meanwhile, just trust me when I say, we are coffee people.
These coffee coated nuts are easy to eat. Let me tell you, I sat down with a bowl of them and before I knew it, I’d munched my way through way more than I intended.
I kept a container of them on the kitchen counter and discovered that my husband and I would snag a handful every time we walked through the kitchen.
I’m pretty sure we could eat a truckload of these coffee glazed nuts!
Make It a Meal:
Appetizer that this recipe is, I’d say you probably don’t want to eat the coffee glazed nuts for a meal. However, if you’re hosting card night, these are great on the snack table with other appetizers: Queso Dip, Pineapple Salsa, Mild Crab Dip, Cheesy Olive Dip, and Pimiento Cheese Spread.

Storage:
Keep these coffee glazed nuts in an airtight container. I used a plastic tub since we were just snacking on them at home. If you want to give them as a gift, package them in a pretty jar and add a ribbon.
Variations:
You can use your favorite mix of nuts as long as you keep the total measurement the same. I like this mix because there is a variety of nuts which toasts up to different levels of crispy.
It’s also more economical due to the combination. My favorite nuts are pecans and cashews, but that would make for a more expensive snack.
If you don’t have corn syrup or can’t use it for dietary reasons, you can swap that ingredient with maple syrup. I highly recommend real syrup!
