Mmmm, mmmm, mmmmm! Shelly, here is the recipe you've been waiting for.

Preheat oven to 325. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In a bowl, whisk the egg white until it is completely foamy and no liquid remains. Fold in walnuts and brown sugar. Toss gently to coat. Arrange the walnuts on the prepared baking sheet, keeping the individual pieces separate. Bake until the egg white-sugar mixture is cooked through and the nuts are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Loosen the nuts from the pan with a spatula. Set aside on a plate to cool.

The Sauce
