Candied Nuts. This dish is also simple and a party favorite. In a large saucepan on high heat, place a half cup of olive oil. Then mix in assorted nuts. Next mix in a half cup of maple syrup and stir continuously until the syrup starts to harden and liquid is burned off. Let the nuts cool over a baking tray. Serve warm in a dish!
