How To Make 5 Minute Caramel Walnuts
Place a piece of parchment on a dinner plate (approximately the size of the plate) or any other heat proof plate. Set aside.
Place all ingredients (except two pinches salt) in a medium non-stick skillet.
Place skillet over high heat and cook (stirring occasionally) for 5 minutes (stirring constantly in the last minute and reduce heat to medium during the last minute), until all moisture evaporates and the nuts get darker, glossy and begins to clump together (refer pictures).
