Steps

Caramel Base

In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt the sugar with the water. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and starts to bubble.

Add Walnuts

Add the walnut halves to the skillet and stir continuously until the sugar crystallizes and coats the walnuts. This will take about 3-5 minutes.

Caramelize

Continue stirring for another 3-5 minutes until the crystallized sugar melts again and turns into a beautiful golden-brown caramel. Be careful not to burn it!

Butter and Salt

Remove the skillet from the heat, add the butter and a pinch of salt. Stir quickly until the butter melts and evenly coats the walnuts.

Cool Down

Spread the caramelized walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet or cutting board lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely. Once cooled, they will be easy to separate.

Extra Tips

► Don't leave the pan unattended, caramel can burn quickly!

► Spread the walnuts in a single layer on parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.

► Experiment with spices like a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
