    Made another batch tonight, but used chopped up york peppermint patties instead of chocolate chips. Took it to a whole new level. I dont usually eat sweets, but this stuff is amazing.

        I finally made it!!
        First time making this type of candy and it was pretty easy! And wow! It was good, here is a few pics (sorry about the dirty egg pan in the background):

        Stiring the candy, it was around 280 degrees with the nuts in it at this point

        Notes:
        1. make sure the nuts are finely chopped, I had some chunks that were a bit bigger than they should have been, IMO
        2. Spread the sugar mixture thinner next time, I wasn't able to because of the nuts being bigger than they should be.
        3. I used a really good quality milk chocolate and it made it really good.
        4. I also used a heat proof rubber spatula, and Silpat mats, I don't think this could be done without them. This is the digital candy thermometer I use.


        I'm also going to try making it with almonds and dark chocolate next time, YUM!

          That looks great!! You will love the almonds. Use thin sliced almonds... (amazing)

            When you mentioned almonds.... (on sale) just had too amazing... and you can get it real thin. I used less chocolate as I did not want to overpower the almonds

            You have to stir this more..

                    We made this for the first time back when Stan R posted this recipe in 2008. It has become a family favorite. My wife makes 4-5 batches each holiday season. We give lots away to neighbors and friends. Thanks again for posting this recipe!
