  • Stove Top

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups walnuts

  • Remove the candied walnuts off the heat and pour the candied walnuts on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Spread the candied walnuts out and allow to cool and harden for at least 10 minutes. Store candied walnuts in a sealed container for up to one week.
