Ingredients

• 1 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, light brown sugar, and water.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring well to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the chopped walnuts or pecans and stir to evenly coat the nuts with the syrup mixture.

Step 6

Cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the nuts to soften slightly and absorb the flavor.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature over ice cream, pancakes, or desserts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm gently before serving.
