Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts or pecans halved or whole
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium or medium-low heat. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper off to the side. Once the pan is warm, add all of the ingredients to the pan.
- Stir frequently. Once the butter has melted, stir constantly to prevent the walnuts from burning and to coat the sugar evenly on the walnuts, about 5 minutes.
- Once the sugar has completely dissolved, pour out the contents of the pan onto the parchment paper. Quickly spread and separate clumps with a silicone spatula before they harden. Let cool completely before storing in a mason jar.
