Notes

Tips
  • Be sure to use raw walnuts. You don’t want to she roasted, toasted or salted as we’ll be doing that so raw nuts are best.
  • You can use another kind of nut if you prefer — peanuts, almonds, cashews, pecans would all be delicious too.
  • Parchment paper key to ensure the walnuts don’t stick, so don’t skip it!
  • Make sure to stir halfway through baking to ensure even baking. If your oven has hot spots you can also rotate your baking sheet.
  • High Altitude —Follow the recipe as noted.
