- Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil. Swirl ½ cup sugar and 2 tbsp water in small saucepan to moisten sugar evenly. Bring to a simmer and cook until sugar melts and turns a rich amber brown (be sure it doesn't burn). Remove from heat, add 1 cup walnut pieces and stir with a fork to coat. Lift to lined baking sheet, separating nuts with a fork. Cool until caramel hardens.
