For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar mixture. Store cooled candied walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Watch the candy thermometer closely to avoid overcooking the sugar mixture, which can result in a bitter taste.
