How to make 5-Minute Candied Walnuts
Step 1: Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet and set aside.
Step 2: Place the walnuts in a large non-stick skillet. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, and butter. If using, add the cinnamon as well.
Step 3: Place the skillet on high heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until all the moisture has evaporated and the walnuts are glossy and begin to clump together.
Step 4: Add the salt and stir. Into the prepared baking sheet, immediately transfer the nuts, spreading them out into a single layer. Allow the nuts to cool.
Step 5: Break the candied walnuts apart once set. Enjoy!
