If your candied nuts have turned out sticky, don't worry. Here's what you can do: Spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a cooling rack. This will allow air to circulate around the nuts and help them cool down while preventing them from sticking together. Ensure that the candied nuts have cooled completely before attempting to separate them. Rushing this process can cause them to stick even more. Once the nuts have cooled, use your fingers or a spatula to gently break apart any clusters or individual nuts that are stuck together. Be patient and gentle to avoid damaging the nuts. If the nuts are still slightly sticky after cooling, you can dust them with a thin layer of powdered sugar, cornstarch, or cocoa powder. This will help absorb excess moisture and reduce stickiness.  If your candied nuts are excessively sticky, you can try reheating them in the oven for a short time. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at a low temperature (around 250°F  for 5-10 minutes. This can help evaporate any residual moisture that's causing stickiness. Be careful not to overheat and burn them.
