5 minute Candied Walnuts
Toss these caramelized walnuts into your salad, over popcorn, or straight into your mouth. Crunch. Crunch. I love this easy method of making the candied nuts where everything goes into the pan at once. Other methods I've tried left me with globs of candy on the nuts rather than a more even coating. It also roasts the nuts at the same time so you don't have to pre-toast them, then add them back to the pan to be coated, blah, blah. Who needs extra steps? It seriously takes about 5 minutes on the stove and 5 minutes to cool. P.S. This recipe can easily be doubled.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp butter and a pinch of salt.
water (*optiona)1 Tbsppinch of salt
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. The caramelized sugar will be amber in color.
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.

Once the coating hardens (⏱️ 5-7 minutes), you can transfer them to a bowl and enjoy!
