TIPS & NOTES
✿ Boiling the walnuts will remove the bitter taste from the walnuts
✿ Heat up the oil while you’re boiling and coating the walnuts with sugar. The oil will be ready by the time for deep frying. If you wait to heat up the oil after the nuts are coated with sugar, the sugar will get hard and the nuts will clump together.
✿ Oil needs to be heated on low. If the oil is too hot the sugar coating around the walnuts will burn.
✿ Don’t stir the walnuts for the first few minutes when you place it in the oil, or else you’ll stir off the sugar coating.
