Credit goes to Dawn for these Walnuts! I found this recipe on another website and I am posting this on this website because it's where I keep all my recipes and will want to make these again! I used them in a salad and everyone raved - they couldn't put their finger on what made the walnuts so good (it's the cinnamon).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups walnut halves
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss together all ingredients in a medium bowl. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake until fragrant and sugar is bubbling, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, plump walnuts for the best results.
  • Toast the walnuts in a single layer in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Use a heavy saucepan to make the sugar syrup. This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Bring the sugar syrup to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Then, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly.
  • Once the syrup begins to thicken, add the walnuts and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the walnuts are evenly coated.
  • Spread the walnuts out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let cool completely.
  • Store the candied walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied walnuts are an easy and delicious treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for various desserts. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious candied walnuts at home.
