Buttered Walnuts or Pecans

2 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste (optional)
1 cup walnuts or pecan halves

In a small skillet melt the butter over medium heat.   Add the brown sugar and cayenne (if using) and stir until well combined.
Add the walnuts or pecans and toss to coat.  Cook until the nuts are well coated and fragrant.  3 to 5 minutes stirring frequently.
Pour onto a sheet of wax paper and cool to room temperature.  Crumble the pieces before sprinkling over a salad or eat as is.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Haven't tried this.  Just found it in the Magnolia Table Cookbook awhile back.
