Candied Walnuts

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lay the walnuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them until just toasted, being careful not to burn them, about 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
3. It is very important to work quickly so have everything ready to go before starting the next step. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and have two forks ready.
4. Place your cool walnuts in a bowl near the stove. Pour your sugar into a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until sugar begins to melt.
5. Keep stirring until all the sugar is melted and it is a golden amber color. This takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
6. As soon as the sugar is ready add in your walnuts and stir very quickly to make sure all of the pieces get coated.
7. Next, spread your walnuts out on your baking sheet. Use your two forks to separate all of the nuts from one another.
8. Let them cool completely and serve!
