Sugared Walnut Recipe ...Means Enhanced Salads
Favorite Restaurant Recipe


This sugared walnut recipe is good to use for enhancing salads. They
can also be used on an appetizer tray or eaten as a snack. So a word
to the wise ...keep them out of reach from the kids. I have to hide
them from my husband! He's one of my "kids."


You can purchase sugared walnuts if you wish or run short of time,
but this restaurant recipe results in a very tasty treat.
