Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set it aside for later use.
-
In a medium-sized skillet, combine the white sugar, water, salt, and ground cinnamon over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
-
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the walnuts to the skillet, making sure they are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
-
Continuously stir the walnut mixture in the skillet, ensuring that the walnuts are coated with the sugar syrup. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the sugar syrup thickens and starts to caramelize.
-
As the sugar syrup caramelizes, keep a close eye on the walnuts to prevent burning. Stir frequently to coat the walnuts evenly with the caramel.
-
Once the walnuts are coated with a caramelized layer and have a glossy appearance, quickly transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer to cool.
-
Allow the candied walnuts to cool completely before breaking them apart. Store in an airtight container or use them immediately in your favorite dishes or as a tasty snack.
