2 cups Water
1 cup Walnut or Pecan Halves
1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Morton® All-Purpose Natural Sea Salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium sauce pan.

Add nuts and boil for 3 minutes.

Combine cinnamon, black pepper, cayenne pepper and powdered sugar.

Drain nuts using a colander. Add nuts to sugar mixture, coating nuts evenly so all the sugar is dissolved.

Transfer evenly onto parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until sugar is caramelized.

Top with 1/4 teaspoon Salt while nuts are still hot.

Yields 1 1/2 cups.
