Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup walnut halves/pieces (you can also use this recipe for candied pecans)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 Tbsp unsalted butter

Steps:

1.Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp butter. 2.Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently so your mixture doesn't burn (especially towards the end). When the sugar mixture starts melting, stir constantly until all sugar is melted and nuts are coated. 3.Transfer immediately onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Using two spatulas will make this task go faster. You don't want to give the nuts a chance to turn into a wad of inseparable delicious goodness unless you are the only person who will be enjoying the wad ;). Seriously, move quickly from the time the nuts are coated until they are separated out on the parchment paper. 4.Once the coating hardens (5-7 minutes), you can transfer them to a bowl and enjoy!
