Default Softening walnuts

I bought a large bag of shelled walnut halves and pieces for snacks. They
were too hard to chew with no teeth. I Googled and was instructed to soak
in water covered in fridge. They've been there for 24 hours and are still
too hard. Another other way of rescuing this $10 investment?

TIA

I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook.

Grind them and put them through something or over something?

Grind them up and use in snack recipes.

The only way I could picture eating walnuts without teeth would be some
sort of nut butter.
