How to Make Super Easy Candied Walnuts
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of walnuts, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is syrupy, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) and a pinch of salt.
- Spread the candied walnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the walnuts are golden brown and the sugar is caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- Let the candied walnuts cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them apart. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
