Christmas Candied Walnuts

I make Christmas Candied Walnuts every year around the holidays, and a little bit of it tastes really good on spice cake, or chocolate cake, pumpkin cake, etc.

Ingredients

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups walnut halves
Directions

Put sugars into saucepan and mix; add sour cream. Stir while cooking to the soft ball stage. Add vanilla and stir until fairly thick. Add the walnuts and stir until evenly coated. Turn out on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while hot. Let nuts cool and break apart.
