Crock-Pot Sugar Coated Walnuts
My kids will not eat regular nuts. But, you put a bag of the Sugar Walnuts in front of them and they will polish them off. These taste nice and fresh and not a large coating of sugar on them. Be careful, the sugar will burn to the bottom of your crock-pot. This comes off easy with a little hot water and some soap.

I will definitely try these. Your warning about the sugar burning, made me wonder if you have tried aluminum foil between the crock and the heating element. My crock pot was always cooking everything too fast and was burning in some spots. So I wrapped the crock in heavy duty aluminum foil and not more burning and the temperature is now more even.
yes you can use foil, that does help. Sugar will burn on foil too. But, the foil will make it easier to clean up!
