candied chestnuts
Sugared roasted nuts
Candied chestnuts are chestnuts that have been cooked and preserved in sugar syrup, resulting in a sweet, glossy confection.
The French term *marrons glacés* is often used interchangeably, though it technically refers to chestnuts finished with a shiny glaze.
They appear as holiday treats, dessert garnishes, or ingredients in baking: The cake was topped with candied chestnuts.
