Ever find yourself wanting to elevate a simple salad, snack, or dessert? Candied walnuts with brown sugar are your answer. They bring a mix of sweetness, crunch, and sophistication to just about any dish.
The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make. We’re talking zero prep time and only 3 minutes of cooking. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
The first time I made these was for a spinach blueberry salad that really needed some extra crunch. I thought it would be time consuming to make my own walnuts, but I was definitely wrong. Now I make them all the time and always have them on hand to add to my lunch salads.
Ingredients

- Walnuts – I like to use walnut pieces, but you can make full walnuts as well, just personal preference.
- Brown sugar – Use light or dark brown sugar – also a personal preference.
- Butter – I use salted butter to give them a little extra savory kick.
Equipment Needed
- Baking sheet
