Why you’ll love this walnut brittle
Warm spices: Cinnamon and cloves are so warm and cozy and perfect for the holiday season. Both spices are a key player in pumpkin spice and gingerbread. Cloves can also be used in a more subtle way in savory recipes, adding a little extra something something to this 5 ingredient slow cooker ham or enhancing the flavor of a curry powder. Walnuts are good for you: When you make candy with heart-healthy walnuts (did you know they’re a great source of omega-3 fatty acids?), it’s practically a health food. Okay, maybe not. It’s definitely a treat but it’s a treat with some benefits. Unique twist on a classic: Everyone knows and loves peanut brittle but this walnut brittle will surprise and delight everyone who tries it.
Tip for Success
Be sure to read all of the instructions carefully before starting the recipe. Resist the temptation to stir the boiling sugar mixture! Use a candy thermometer. It really helps to know exactly when to pull the pan off the heat.
