Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) walnuts
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
Liquid:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
Instructions
- Combine sugar, water, and salt in a skillet, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Heat the mixture over medium temperature, stirring gently until the syrup transforms into a golden amber hue, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Carefully introduce walnuts into the caramelized liquid, gently tossing to ensure each nut is thoroughly coated with the glistening sugar mixture.
- Transfer the glazed walnuts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer to prevent clumping and facilitate even cooling.
- Allow the coated walnuts to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until the sugar coating hardens and becomes crisp.
- Once completely cooled, gently separate the walnuts with your fingers, breaking apart any clusters to create individual, crunchy treats.
Notes
- Adjust heat carefully to prevent burning sugar, which can quickly turn bitter and ruin the entire batch.
- Use a light-colored skillet to monitor caramelization color more accurately and prevent accidental overcooking.
- Work quickly when coating walnuts, as the toffee hardens fast and can become challenging to spread evenly.
- Store cooled toffee walnuts in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness and prevent moisture absorption.
