Ingredients
1/2 cup vanilla sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon Saigon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 cups walnuts
Directions
- Spray a sheet tray with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
- Add vanilla sugar, water, cinnamon, and allspice to a large saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. The mixture will start looking dark and thick.
- Quickly stir in the walnuts to the simmering syrup. Cook in the syrup while stirring until it begins to bubble and thicken. Spread the candy in a single layer to the prepared sheet tray- breaking up large clusters with a wooden spoon. Let cool completely, about 5-10 minutes until the candied harden and the syrup dries. Break apart and enjoy.
