Notes
To prepare the walnuts at home:
Heat ½ cup water in a small saucepan over high heat until boiling. Turn the heat to medium and add ½ cup sugar, stirring constantly until golden brown and thickened. Add the chopped walnuts and gently toss until the walnuts are coated in the caramelized sugar. Transfer the walnuts onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
