How to Make Walnut And Honey Caramels

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the chopped walnuts and orange zest. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and honey.
  4. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  5. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 121°C (249°F) on a candy thermometer. The mixture should be a deep amber color and begin to thicken slightly.
  6. Carefully pour the hot honey mixture over the prepared walnuts and orange zest. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the walnuts evenly.
  7. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the caramel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each caramel.
  8. Let the caramels cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully firm up.
  9. Once firm, store your delicious Walnut & Honey Caramels in an airtight container lined with baking paper between layers, in the refrigerator or a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
