Ingredients
- ½ cup raw walnuts
- ⅛ cup sugar
Instructions
- In a cast iron pan over medium heat, add walnuts and sugar. Stir consistently until sugar begins to clump together.
- As soon as the sugar begins to melt and form a liquid, turn off heat and immediately transfer sugar crusted walnuts to a dish and allow to cool. Sugar burns very easily so keep a close watch. Walnuts should be caked with sugar, but there will also be little clumps of sugar separate from the walnuts—that's ok!
Notes
- There is a very fine line between perfectly sugar-coated and burned—if in doubt, take it off the flame sooner rather than later!
