There are many ways to crack a Walnut…. here's a few:

• A Nutcracker is the most obvious and likely the easiest method.
• Swing a Hammer to crack open the walnut, place on hard surface and a screw driver may helpful to pry open.
• Put walnut in Vice  Grip, turn the handle and it squeezes the shell open.
• Put in freezer, once water inside walnut freezes, it expands and cracks open the shell.  May take a few hours to freeze.

        Walnuts are a great alternative to potato chips with a meal or a great snack!
