Shiny Candied Walnuts





Yields
Makes 1 cup (serving size: 1 tbsp.)



Total Time
20 mins

To give these nuts their thin, glistening coating, we use powdered sugar rather than granulated, which tends to look dull and gloppy. Use the nuts to top ice cream, pie, or cake--or just eat them as is.

This recipe goes with: Candied Orange Walnut Ice Cream Pie

 1/2 cup powdered sugar
 1/4 teaspoon table salt
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
 1 cup chopped walnuts
