Triple-Nut Candy
I've been making homemade candy for years. Family and friends look forward to this caramel and nut sweet treat each Christmas.
64 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Cook: 35 min. + chilling
Ingredients
1 cup walnut halves
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup Brazil nuts, halved
1 teaspoon butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
Directions
Place the walnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts in a single layer on a
baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 4-8 minutes or until toasted and
golden brown, stirring once. Cool on a wire rack. Line an 8-in.
square pan with foil; grease the foil with butter and set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cream and corn syrup.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the
toasted nuts. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer
reads 238° (soft-ball stage).
Remove from the heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until creamy and
thickened. Quickly spread into prepared pan; cool. Cover and
refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Using foil, lift candy out of pan; discard foil. Cut candy into
squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield:
