Here is a super easy and fast recipe for making candied walnuts. I like to keep some of these on hand to throw into salads--adds such a yummy crunch!
2 c. walnut pieces
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. water
Mix all three ingredients in a glass dish that is at least 1 qt. Microwave on high in two minute increments, stirring after each, for 8 minutes or until sugar is caramelized. (This only took 6 minutes for me. Microwaves do vary.) Be careful, because they will burn, so if it is getting close but not quite there yet, only put it in for 15 or 30 seconds.
After microwaving, spread walnuts out on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Let cool completely (when I need them fast, I stick them in the fridge and they cool very fast), then break up into small pieces by hand. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
