How to Make Wet Walnuts

While ice cream by itself is a delicious dessert, sometimes it is better with something extra. Chocolate syrup, sprinkles or peanuts are common choices for toppings, but if you enjoy walnuts, then you should try putting wet walnuts on your ice cream. The topping is called "wet walnuts" because the walnuts are served in a syrup. Wet walnuts are a sweet and crunchy topping with a hint of maple flavor that you can make at home.

Things You'll Need

• 1 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/8 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

1. Cut the walnuts into small pieces.

2. Put the walnuts in the oven and bake them at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

3. Put the water in the sauce pan on medium heat and mix in the sugar. Stir the sugar in the water until it dissolves completely. Remove the sauce pan from the heat when the sugar is dissolved.

4. Mix in the cinnamon and maple syrup into the sugar and water mixture. Stir completely until it is uniform.

5. Mix the walnuts into the syrup.
