Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup local maple syrup
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 cups locally sourced walnuts
Instructions:
Prepare the Caramel Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the local maple syrup, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine, creating a caramel-like mixture. Allow it to simmer until it reaches the desired caramel consistency.
Coat the Walnuts: Once the mixture achieves the desired caramel consistency, introduce the locally sourced walnuts into the saucepan. Stir vigorously until all the walnuts are thoroughly coated with the caramel mixture.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and even baking. Spread the caramel-coated walnuts onto the prepared baking pan.
Roast to Crunchy Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on the walnuts, ensuring they turn a golden brown and the caramel sets to a delightful crunch.
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the walnut praline to cool completely. Break it into clusters or bite-sized pieces for a delightful snacking experience.
