Ingredients:

Walnuts - 1 cup (halves)

Rosemary -  2 tablespoons (fresh and chopped)

Brown sugar - 1/4 cup 

Salt to taste

Cayenne pepper / Chilly powder - 1 teaspoon

Water - 3 tablespoons

Directions:

1. Heat a skillet/ pan in medium heat and add the walnuts to roast for approximately 5 mins or less. Stirring constantly to roast evenly and to prevent burns. 
2. Now add the rest of the ingredients and allow the brown sugar to melt and start to boil. Continue stirring until the water evaporates to get the glossy caramel consistency.  
3. Transfer the nuts to a plate/tray to spreading them using forks to cool. Once it cooled the sticky coating tends to harden yet slightly sticky and crunchy.

Notes and Tips:

• Store the walnuts at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 10 days if they last that long ;) 
• You may toast the nuts in 300 degree pre-heated oven for 10-15 mins before tossing it into the caramel sauce.
