(WSVN) - Let’s talk about a sweet snack that can double as a holiday gift. That’s what’s on the menu as we grab a Bite with Belkys.
The Chef: Belkys Nerey
The Dish: Candied Walnuts
Ingredients:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. fine sea salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cayenne

- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg white and vanilla until combined. Add the walnuts and toss until they are evenly coated.
