NOTES

To make candied walnuts, melt butter in a large fry pan on medium-low heat. Add walnut pieces and white sugar, melt very slowly and stir often until coated. Be very careful because it can burn very quickly, so once it’s coated, take it off the heat completely and place in a bowl. Do not let it sit in the warm pan!
