Serving Size: 6 Cook Time: 5 minutes Allergens: Nuts Diet: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free

RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups walnuts
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

PREPARATION:

1. Start by preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set it aside for later use.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, combine the walnuts, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, and butter. If you prefer, you can also add the optional cinnamon at this stage.
3. Place the skillet over high heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until all the moisture has evaporated, and the walnuts take on a glossy appearance, beginning to clump together. This should take around 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the salt and then quickly transfer the candied walnuts to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer and allow them to cool.
5. Once the candied walnuts have fully hardened, break them into bite-sized pieces.
6. Your delightful candied walnuts are now ready to be savored!
