I first met carmelized walnuts when I was in Italy - they have it either carmelized or just coated in honey. Recipe is simplest of all - take walnuts & put it into honey jar :}

It's rather multinational right now - mostly of it's simplicity, I think. In my house we eat walnuts in honey most often - great taste without any afford :)
