Instructions
- Using a small fry pan, cook bacon until crispy. Remove from heat and let dry on a paper towel. Once cool enough to handle, chop into small pieces and set aside. Pour bacon fat into a coffee cup or small bowl to cool.
- Cook Candied Walnuts: Excluding the Walnuts, combine “Candied Walnuts” ingredients in the same small fry pan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and is bubbling. Add Walnuts and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
