Candied espresso walnuts are a sweet and crunchy treat that are perfect for snacking on or using as a topping for desserts. They are also a great way to use up leftover espresso grounds. The process of making candied espresso walnuts is relatively simple, but it does require some time and patience. The walnuts need to be roasted and then coated in a mixture of sugar, water, and espresso powder. The mixture is then heated until it thickens and coats the walnuts. Once the walnuts are coated, they need to be cooled and then stored in an airtight container.
