Heat the Pan – Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Melt the Sugar – Add sugar and water, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Caramelize – Let the mixture bubble without stirring too much until it turns golden brown (2–3 minutes).
Coat the Walnuts – Add the walnuts and stir quickly to coat them evenly in caramel.
Finish – Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt if desired.
Cool – Spread the walnuts on parchment paper and let them cool for a few minutes before eating.
Serving & Storage Tips
Use as a crunchy topping for salads, oatmeal, yogurt, or cakes.
Store cooled walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
✨ Quick Tip: If you want them extra glossy and crunchy, add ½ teaspoon butter when the sugar melts—it makes the caramel smoother.
