5 MINUTE CANDIED WALNUTS
Toss these caramelized walnuts into your salad, over popcorn, or straight into your mouth. Crunch. Crunch. I love this easy method of making the candied nuts where everything goes into the pan at once. Other methods I've tried left me with globs of candy on the nuts rather than a more even coating. It also roasts the nuts at the same time so you don't have to pre-toast them, then add them back to the pan to be coated, blah, blah. Who needs extra steps? It seriously takes about 5 minutes on the stove and 5 minutes to cool. P.S. This recipe can easily be doubled.

Steps:
- Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp butter.
- Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently so your mixture doesn't burn (especially towards the end). When the sugar mixture starts melting, stir constantly until all sugar is melted and nuts are coated.
- Transfer immediately onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Using two spatulas will make this task go faster. You don't want to give the nuts a chance to turn into a wad of inseparable delicious goodness unless you are the only person who will be enjoying the wad ;). Seriously, move quickly from the time the nuts are coated until they are separated out on the parchment paper.
- Once the coating hardens (5-7 minutes), you can transfer them to a bowl and enjoy!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients and equipment are ready. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
- Toast the Walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the dish. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use Quality Chocolate: The quality of chocolate you use will greatly impact the final result. Opt for high-quality semisweet or dark chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor.
- Temper the Chocolate: Tempering chocolate is essential to achieve a smooth and shiny finish. This involves heating and cooling the chocolate in a specific manner to stabilize its structure.
- Chill the Chocolate Mixture: After mixing the melted chocolate with the butter, sugar, and salt, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to spread and will help it set properly.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chocolate mixture from sticking. This will also make it easier to remove the finished candy from the sheet.
- Be Patient: Chocolate takes time to set properly. Allow it to cool completely before cutting and serving.
