Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lb butter
2 c sugar
1/4 c water
2 c walnuts or black walnuts
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp light corn syrup

Steps:

1. Line 9x13 cookie sheet with 1 1/2 cups of walnuts that have been chopped in a nut chopper or food processor. Don't over chop them but you want them smaller than they come in the bags marked "chopped" walnuts.
2. Melt butter over low heat.
3. Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves.
4. Add water and light corn syrup. Cook over low heat to 290°F crackling stage. Stirring occasionally making sure not to burn the bottom.
5. Keep candy thermometer in pot and MAKE SURE you cook to EXACTLY 290° (be patient, this takes time since you're cooking on low).
6. Pour filling over walnuts evenly.
7. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
8. Use a butter knife to spread the chocolate evenly over filling as it melts.
9. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup black walnuts.
10. Let stand to cool before breaking. Once cool, stick butter knife pointed side down and push through candy and break into different sized pieces. ENJOY!

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh walnuts. If you don't have fresh walnuts, you can use roasted walnuts, but be sure to toast them yourself so that you can control the flavor.
Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If you overcook it, it will become too hard and brittle.
If you want a chewier toffee, add a little bit of corn syrup to the sugar mixture.
If you want a crunchier toffee, add a little bit of chopped nuts or seeds to the sugar mixture.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the toffee.
Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces.

Conclusion:

Walnut butter crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover walnuts, and it is also a great gift for friends and family. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of walnut butter crunch that everyone will love.
