A sweet combination of walnuts and sugar is made instead of honey and peanuts and is a purely divine dessert.

These are great for a quick sugar hit to a weeknight salad, since it doesn't involve a lot of time or advance preparation. I served them in a salad with brie and apples - yum. I used brown sugar and cinnamon.

Agree with most that a little more sugar or the use of Brown sugar is best. Also the first time I made these, I really didn't measure the butter all that well and found them alittle greasy. The sugar sticks better with not too much butter.

Very good and easy. I made the recipe exactly as posted, using the smaller amount of sugar as I was using it with a very sweet dessert. Thank you.

These were good but not sweet enough. I added some brown sugar to sweeten it up some and they were still in need of some sugar. These nuts have a lot of potential!
