Sugar Trio Candied Walnuts

These candied walnuts are the perfect blend of crunchy, sweet, and spiced. Coated in a trio of sugars, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla, then perfectly toasted, they make a fantastic snack, salad topper, or ice cream garnish. They're incredibly simple to make but taste like a gourmet treat.
