Homemade treats are always a welcome gift during the holidays. My grandmother’s recipe for Candied Walnuts is one I’ve shared with family and friends for years.

Today, Lock & Lock is going to make sharing for the holidays a little easier with a set of 6 bowls and 6 adorable holiday gift bags.

Here’s the recipe for my grandma’s candied walnuts. Feel free to make them and share in your Lock & Lock too! Your friends and family will thank you! : ) 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed


• 1/2 cup granulated sugar


• 1/2 cup sour cream


• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


• 4 cups shelled walnuts

Directions:

• Cover 10" x 15" baking sheet with wax paper


•  In a two-quart saucepan, stir in sugar and sour cream. Cook at medium-high until sugar is dissolved and comes to a boil. Sugar should be cooked to soft-ball stage (235-240 degrees).


• Remove from heat. Quickly stir in vanilla extract and walnuts and mix well.


• Spoon the mixture out onto waxed paper, and separate nuts (use a fork).


• Let cool (2-3 hours is best). 


• Once cool, remove nuts from wax paper and enjoy.

I’ll see you at midnight EST with the Lock & Lock holiday set of 6 bowls and bags. You won’t believe the price--here’s a hint: under $20!
