8 Servings
- 15 grams butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 200 grams walnuts
- 60 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4
Add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar mixture. Stir until the butter melts and everything is well combined.
Step 5
Add the walnuts to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the sugar mixture.
Step 6
Spread the coated walnuts onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Remove from the oven and let the walnuts cool completely. They will harden as they cool.

Once completely cooled, break the walnuts apart if they are stuck together and store them in an airtight container.
