How to Make Cinnamon Candied Walnuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup of walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 8 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (236°F/113°C) on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add the toasted walnuts to the sugar syrup and stir gently to coat evenly.
  5. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Spoon the candied walnuts onto the prepared sheet, separating them with a fork to prevent sticking.
  6. Let the walnuts cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!
