Ingredients

6 servings

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup golden syrup (such as Lyle's®)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon smokehouse rub (such as Winco®)
  • ½ teaspoon walnut extract

Instructions

  • Pour walnuts into a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Line a rimmed half-sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine sugar, water, and golden syrup in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, and wait for the mixture to reach 275 degrees F (135 degrees C), about 5 minutes.
  • Once sugar mixture reaches 275 degrees F (135 degrees C), add toasted walnuts. Stir using a silicone spatula until mixture reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), about 5 minutes more. Stir in butter, baking soda, smokehouse rub, and walnut extract.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and carefully pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow to cool before breaking into smaller pieces, about 30 minutes.
