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.

Steps:
- Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp butter.
- 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.
- 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!

Tips:
- Use fresh walnuts. Fresh walnuts have a more delicate flavor and a better texture than stale walnuts.
- Toast the walnuts before candying them. Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. If the sugar syrup is not hot enough, the walnuts will not be properly candied. If the sugar syrup is too hot, the walnuts will burn.
- Be careful when stirring the walnuts in the sugar syrup. The sugar syrup is very hot and can easily burn you.
- Spread the walnuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cool evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Let the walnuts cool completely before storing them. This will help them to retain their crispy texture.
Conclusion:
Candied walnuts are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, desserts, or used as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal. They are also a great gift idea. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own candied walnuts at home.
