Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup butter
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 cup confectioners' sugar
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
2 ½ cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Spread a sheet of waxed paper onto a flat working surface.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Slowly stream maple syrup into the saucepan while stirring with the butter; bring to a light simmer. Stir confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and salt into syrup mixture with a whisk; cook and stir until the mixture is hot and the confectioners' sugar is completely dissolved into the liquid.
