Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
3 tablespoons water
1 to 1 1/2cups nutmeats
1/4 lb melted semisweet chocolate
Preparation
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 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. 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
