CANDIED WALNUTS
I love walnuts! They are also very healthy as well. Full of rich nutrients that are good for heart health, brain function, and gut health and so much more. I eat them every morning for breakfast as a healthy part of my diet.
Walnuts are so good candied as well! This recipe is an excellent candied walnut recipe. You should absolutely try it, that is if you like walnuts. Of course, it is less healthy in this candied state but you might as well live a little before the end. 🙂
It is also National Walnut Day tomorrow, May 17th. What a great way to celebrate the day with these Candied Walnuts!

INGREDIENTS
1 Lb. Walnuts
1 Cup White Sugar
6 Tablespoons Milk
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS
Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they begin to be fragrant and begin to brown.
Stir sugar, milk, cinnamon and salt together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Without stirring this mixture bring it to 240 on a candy thermometer which is a soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract immediately.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper. Mix the nuts into the syrup mixture and coat evenly. When coated, spread onto the prepared baking sheet. Break clumps up with a fork. Let cool completely. Serve and enjoy!!!
