Caramelized Walnuts

I still remember when I was little, I always had the colourful speckles on my soft ice- cream.
Recently it's getting hotter in The Netherlands and what is better to have a scoop of ice-cream at home. So this idea crossed my mind: let's pop up my ice- cream with some home made garnish- caramelized walnuts! You can serve it in dessert or salad, even you eat it right away, you won't get enough of it :D
