Maybe it's the extra butter that makes this lip-smacking crunch so delectable. It takes a long time to make, but my family and friends insist it's worth every minute! Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons plus 2 cups butter, divided |
2 cups sugar |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts |
topping: |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Grease a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cube remaining butter; add to sugar mixture. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Stir in walnuts. Immediately spread into prepared pan. Cool.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Drizzle or spread over candy. Sprinkle with finely chopped walnuts. Break into pieces. Yield: About 2-1/2 pounds.
