Time 2h5m

Yield 2 pounds of nut clusters

Number Of Ingredients 15

1-ounce (30 grams) corn syrup
2.5 ounces (70 grams) sugar
1-ounce (30 grams) water
2 pounds assorted whole roasted nuts, unsalted
1-ounce (30 grams) butter

1/2 tablespoon (6 grams) lemon juice
16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, tempered

Steps:

  • Prepare the caramel mou: Place the corn syrup, sugar and just enough water to melt the sugar into a saucepan and place on high heat. Cook until the sugar is very dark brown and begins to burn. You will see white smoke. Remove from the heat and add the 1-ounce of water. Allow this to cool slightly.
  • Place the roasted nuts on a silpat baking mat lined baking sheet.
  • Place the butter and cocoa butter in a large heat-proof mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the caramel: Place the sugar, corn syrup, Caramel Mou, cream, vanilla bean, butter, salt, and lemon juice in a saucepan placed over high heat. Insert a candy thermometer and cook to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). Remove from the heat and pour over the butter and cocoa butter. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon the caramel over the nuts to make the clusters.
  • Place the bittersweet chocolate in a paper cornet or small piping bag and drizzle chocolate over the nut cluster. Serve.
  • Jacques' tip: To make a more kid friendly recipe, use store bought caramel squares. Unwrap them and place them on top of the nuts. Put in a warm oven until the caramel melts.

  • If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat.
