CHOCOLATE WALNUT CRUNCH 
2 c. butter
2 c. sugar
1/4 c. water
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate bits
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts

Melt butter over low heat in 4 quart saucepan. Add sugar and stir until it is melted. Add water and corn syrup. Continue cooking, over low heat, without stirring, until a small amount becomes brittle when dropped in very cold water (290 degrees). This takes about 45 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in coarsely chopped walnuts. Spread in buttered 15 x 10 inch pan and let stand until firm. Melt chocolate over hot water and spread evenly on candy. Sprinkle with the finely chopped walnuts. Let stand until chocolate is firm and break into pieces. Makes about 2 pounds.
