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 πŸ˜‰ . 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!

  • Continue to cook over medium heat until temp reaches 298 degrees F, continue to continually stir.
  • Remove from heat, add the vanilla, stir.
  • Pour onto prepared baking sheet. Let set/cool completely.
  • Blot toffee with towel to remove extra oil from surface.

Notes

How long this takes to cook will depend on how long it takes to reach 298 degrees F or the hard ball stage. Each stove and pan is different so the timing will not be the same.

    My intention was to live on salad this week to recoup from the over-indulgence of the Xmas weekend, I haven’t eaten a single leaf of lettuce yet πŸ™ This candy looks so good! I love sweet and salty, so the sea salt is a perfect touch to offset the sweetness of the candy.

    I know! I can’t believe Christmas is over for another year. I can totally relate to running out of time. There’s always so much to do before the holidays. Lucky for you, I think this recipe is appropriate year round! Definitely pinning for later! Happy (almost) 2018!!

    I totally overindulged too, and you know what’s funny? I made a SPICY Thai soup for dinner tonight, haha. I guess there’s something about spice cutting through all of that sugar!! I think I could make room for some of this crunch though – just the words “butter crunch” have me all excited πŸ™‚
