Candied Walnuts Recipe With Brown Sugar
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until butter is completely melted.
- Add brown sugar and walnuts to the frying pan and mix.
- Cook, stirring every 30 seconds, until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 4 minutes).
- Remove candied walnuts from the frying pan onto a baking sheet. Put the walnuts on parchment paper in a single layer and spread them apart so they are not touching and don't stick together. Let them cool for 30 minutes.
- After the candied walnuts are completely cool, put them in a bowl and serve.
I’ve been reading about how good walnuts are for you. This is a great way to enjoy them. I didn’t realise candied walnuts were so easy to make xx
I love how easy these candied walnuts are to make. I love nuts, so this would be a great recipe for me.
Walnuts are the healthiest nuts out of all of them – I’ve read that they contain twice the antioxidants of other common nuts! That’s another excuse for me to eat more of these goodies :) And yes, they are extremely easy to make!
