Tips:
- Use fresh walnuts: Fresh walnuts will yield the best results. If you're using store-bought walnuts, make sure they're unsalted and unroasted.
- Toast the walnuts before sugaring them: Toasting the walnuts will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making sure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature.

- Allow the walnuts to cool completely before storing them: The walnuts will become more brittle and easier to store once they've cooled completely.
