Frequently Asked Questions About Candied hazelnuts
How do you make candied hazelnuts?
Candied hazelnuts are made by heating hazelnuts with sugar and a little water, stirring until the sugar crystallizes and coats the nuts. Keep stirring as the coating forms so the hazelnuts are less likely to stick together.
How should you store candied hazelnuts?
Store candied hazelnuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Moisture can make the sugar coating sticky and soften its crunch, so keep the container away from heat, sunlight, and humid areas.
Are candied hazelnuts healthy?
Candied hazelnuts provide the vitamin E and healthy fats found in hazelnuts, but the added sugar makes them a sweeter, more energy-dense snack than plain nuts. Choose plain hazelnuts more often if you want to limit added sugar.
Are candied hazelnuts the same as praline?
Candied hazelnuts and praline are related but not always the same. Candied hazelnuts are usually whole nuts coated in crystallized sugar, while praline can mean nuts set in caramelized sugar or a smooth nut-and-sugar paste, depending on the region.
Why did the sugar on my candied hazelnuts turn grainy?
The sugar on candied hazelnuts turns grainy when it crystallizes as the sugar mixture cools and loses moisture; that texture is typical of a crystallized coating. Stirring continuously as the coating forms helps it cover the nuts more evenly.
Can you freeze candied hazelnuts?
Yes, you can freeze candied hazelnuts, but moisture during thawing may make their sugar coating sticky. Seal them well, then let them come to room temperature while still covered to reduce condensation on the nuts.
How can you use candied hazelnuts?
Use candied hazelnuts as a crunchy topping for ice cream, cakes, or other desserts, or chop them into cookies. Add them shortly before serving so moisture from soft desserts does not soften the sugar coating.
Do you need to remove the skins before making candied hazelnuts?
No, you do not need to remove hazelnut skins before candying them. Skinless hazelnuts can give a neater-looking coating, while leaving the skins on saves preparation time and preserves the nuts’ characteristic flavor.
How do you stop candied hazelnuts from sticking together?
Spread candied hazelnuts apart on baking parchment as soon as the sugar coating forms, while they are still warm. Let them cool without piling them up, and break apart any pieces that have joined once fully cool.
Why is the sugar coating on candied hazelnuts sticky?
Candied hazelnuts usually become sticky after absorbing moisture from humid air or an uncovered container. Let them cool completely before storage, then seal them in a dry, airtight container to help preserve the crisp coating.

What is Candied hazelnuts?
Candied hazelnuts are whole or roughly chopped hazelnuts cooked with sugar until they develop a crisp, glossy coating. The roasted, nutty flavour comes through beneath the sweetness, while the shell gives way to a firm, crunchy bite. They’re sold as a snack at fairs and markets in many places, and are also easy to serve alongside coffee or tea.
Hazelnuts contribute unsaturated fats, fibre and vitamin E, but the sugar coating makes this an energy-dense sweet rather than an everyday handful of plain nuts. A small portion is often enough; try them as a crunchy topping for yoghurt or fruit, or enjoy a few on their own when you want something sweet.
