Step-by-Step Instructions for Toffee Walnuts

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the brown sugar and salt in a small bowl until fully combined.
In a larger bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla extract until frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently toss the walnut halves into the frothy egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the coated walnuts, tossing until evenly coated.
Spread the walnut mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown.
Once baked, let the toffee walnuts cool completely on the baking sheet.
Transfer to an airtight container for storage and enjoy as a snack or dessert topping.
