NUT CRUNCH



NUT CRUNCH image

Categories     Candy     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
3 tablespoons water
1 to 1 1/2 cups nutmeats
1/4 lb melt semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Sliver large, sense nuts like almonds and brazil nuts. Others can be left whole. You may add them at once to the mixture if you like a roasted quality in a nut. If not spread them on a buttered slab or pan and pour the syrup over them after cooking. Heat in a large heavy skillet, the sugar, butter and water. Cook rapidly and stir constantly about 10 minutes or until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage 300 degrees. Add the nutmeats. Turn the candy quickly onto the buttered slab. Form into a shape about 1 foot square. When almost cool, brush with the chocolate. Before the chocolate hardens, dust with 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts. Break into pieces when cold

Tips:

  • Use fresh nuts. Stale nuts will not have the same flavor or crunch as fresh nuts.
  • Toast the nuts before using them. Toasting brings out the flavor of the nuts and makes them more crunchy.
  • Chop the nuts into small pieces. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the nuts. Overcooked nuts will be dry and crumbly.
  • Use a variety of nuts. This will add flavor and texture to your recipe.
  • Store nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help them stay fresh for longer.
  • Experiment with different nut combinations. There are endless possibilities!

Conclusion:

Nut crunch is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. Whether you're adding it to a salad, soup, or dessert, nut crunch is sure to add flavor and texture. So next time you're looking for a way to add a little something extra to your dish, reach for the nuts!
