Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup walnut halves
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside. Make sure to have your pan prepped and forks handy before you start this recipe!
- Pour 1/2 cup granulated sugar into a medium-sized saucepan, then heat it over medium heat. You don't want the heat too high because it can burn quickly. After about 5 minutes, the sugar will start to melt. This process can be slow depending on your stove, so be patient.
- Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar has completely melted. The color will go from a light brown to a dark brown amber color.
- Once the sugar has completely melted and is dark in color, quickly add 1 cup walnut halves to the pan. Working fast, stir with a wooden spoon to coat each walnut.
- Immediately spread the sugar-coated walnuts onto the prepared sheet pan. Use two forks to separate the walnut halves from sticking to each other. The process has to be fast because the sugar hardens quickly.
- Allow the walnuts to dry and harden at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
- Enjoy as a topping on salads, desserts, or as a snack.
