Nut Crunch

Directions

1. 1
   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
