Breaking News: I just heard that Smuchers discontinued their Wet Walnuts… just one more reason to make homemade!

And these are not made with corn syrup, just another BONUS of making it yourself 🙂

Now that you have made maple syrup……here is what you can do with it.

I’m not sure how many times I looked at the photo above only now to realize there is a typo. LOL! Too bad I can’t use an erasure.
The walnuts will soften a bit when soaked in the syrup, one of my favorite ways to enjoy Wet Walnuts is on a Hot Fudge Sundae! It reminds me of my first job, I worked at an ice cream shop and I made wet walnuts often and loved them on Hot Fudge Sundaes.

You’ll be using maple extract for the frosting so really that is just one more reason to run out and get some if you don’t already have it.
