Walnut-ty Nuggets

Directions

1. 1
   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.
3. 3
   Cook, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, until the mixture reaches the soft-crack stage, or 270 degrees F.
4. 4
   Pour the candy onto the buttered sheet pan and evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
5. 5
   As the chocolate melts, spread them evenly over the top of the candy with a rubber spatula.
6. 6
   Sprinkle the finely chopped walnuts over the chocolate, and let the candy cool before breaking into uneven pieces.
