Steps:

• Add the walnuts and maple syrup to a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the maple just starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low but still slowly bubbling. Simmer for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In the last minute when the maple syrup is mostly evaporated, stir continuously until the liquid is totally cooked out and the nuts start clumping together (but watch so that it doesn't burn or go too far and become powdery, not glossy!). Immediately remove from the heat.
• Transfer the walnuts to a sheet of parchment paper in a single layer. Sprinkle with the salt and allow to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes if eating right away and about 15 minutes if you want to store them for later use. Store in a covered container at room temperature.

WALNUT PETITES

Steps:

• Beat together cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Sift in flour and a pinch of salt and stir until mixture forms a dough. Divide dough into quarters, then chill, each wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Make 12 balls from each piece of dough. Press each ball into bottom and up sides of a mini-muffin cup to form a pastry shell. Chill until ready to fill.
• Whisk together eggs, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until blended, then stir in walnuts. Fill each pastry shell with 1 teaspoon filling.
• Bake in batches in middle of oven until filling is bubbling and pastry is light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Run a sharp knife around edges of pastries, then transfer to a rack and cool.
