Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
List of Ingredients
3 ounces unsalted butter, cut into 1-tablespoon pieces
2 cups sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup nut-flavored liqueur, recommended: Nocello or Frangelico
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped, toasted walnuts
Recipe
Butter a large baking sheet (10-by 12-inches) with 1 tablespoon of the
butter, and set aside.
In a 2-quart saucepan over low-heat, add the remaining butter, sugar,
water, coarsely chopped walnuts, liqueur, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring
occasionally to dissolve the sugar, until the mixture reaches the
soft-crack stage, or 270 degrees F.
Pour the candy onto the buttered sheet pan and evenly sprinkle the
chocolate chips over the top. As the chocolate melts, spread them evenly
over the top of the candy with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the finely
chopped walnuts over the chocolate, and let the candy cool before breaking
into uneven pieces.
