Warm the walnuts in the oven or you can breafly stir-fry them and then rub well with a cloth in order to peel them. Add lemon juice to the caramel and then the walnuts.

Chef's advice
You can vary the recipe using other kinds of dry fruit. The croccante can be served with and to decorate fruit or chocolate mousse, or to decorate ice cream.
I suggest to serve this sweet with Moscato Passito di Pantelleria.
