Candied Walnuts
These candied walnuts are super addictive with their sweet and buttery coating! They are delicious own their own or can be used as a beautiful topping for a greens salad, oatmeal, or Greek yogurt! Special thanks to my mom Sharon for this recipe.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 Tbsp butter
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups walnut halves
Instructions
- Combine first four ingredients in a large, non-stick skillet. Bring the ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
- Add walnut halves and stir. Toss until syrup forms a glaze on nuts, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid scotching.
- Transfer nuts to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and quickly separate nuts with a fork. Let cool completely.
Notes
Cook times may need to be adjusted slightly depending on your cooktop and pan. Just make sure to watch carefully to avoid burning the syrup or nuts.
