5 Minute Candied Walnuts

I ordered a wedge salad at an upscale restaurant recently and I haven't stopped thinking about that salad since!! I was surprised when I took my first bite and I tasted something sweet in the mix - I asked the waiter what it was an I was actually SHOCKED when he answered "Candied Walnuts."

I've made the salad 5 or 6 times since and I always have to look up the ratios - so I'm jotting it down for my ease!

Candied Walnuts
1 cup walnuts
1 TBSP butter
1/4 cup sugar

Toss in a pan and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Once the butter and sugar have melted and coated the walnuts - spread out on parchment paper and let cool.

Candied Almonds

Candied Almonds
3 to 4 T sugar
½ c slivered almonds

Stir over low heat until well coated. Grease foil or parchment paper and pour over it. Pat the nuts down so they aren’t so bunched up. Allow to cool and then separate.
