Chocolate Walnut Butter Crunch

Chocolate Walnut Butter Crunch!! Buttery, crunchy candy center coated in chocolate and sprinkled with roasted walnuts.

Can you believe it? Christmas is over for another year but I’m pretty sure I will be wearing the extra calories on my hips for the next 6 months 😉 . I over indulged but aren’t we suppose to at Christmas? I ate so many sweets that the only kind of food I am craving today is something spicy. My system is obviously searching for balance here so I’m thinking some Thai for dinner, anyone else with me?

I had the best intentions to post this Chocolate Walnut Butter Crunch before Christmas but as life would have it I ran out of time and energy. So I am hoping some of you out there are still in the mood for something sweet, rich, buttery and crunchy and if not just pin it for later. If you’re like me the cravings will be back in a few days.

This Chocolate Walnut Butter Crunch is much like a toffee. Its buttery, brittle, sweet and crunchy as it then begins to melt in your mouth. I swiped over the top and bottom with some silky chocolate and then added some toasted walnuts and a sprinkling of sea salt (only on one side) for a little balance. The difference with this toffee is that it used granulated sugar rather than brown sugar thus lending to lighter color and a stronger buttery flavor.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday week and a happy new year!!

Enjoy!
