Preparation
Step 1
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 Tbsp butter.
Step 2
Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. When the sugar mixture starts melting, stir constantly until all sugar melts and nuts are coated.
Step 3
Transfer immediately onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Using two spatulas will make this task faster.
Step 4
Once the coating hardens (5-7 minutes), transfer them to a bowl and enjoy!
Step 5

Chef's notes
The recipe can easily be doubled.
Move quickly from the time the nuts are coated until they are separated out on the parchment paper to avoid clumping.
