Method
- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan, then roughly chop and set aside.
- Heat the honey and sugar together in a pan over medium heat, stirring, until it turns a deep amber and reaches the hard-crack stage (a drop in cold water turns brittle).
- Stir in the walnuts quickly, coating them evenly in the hot caramel.
