I'm making nutter butter crunch

[Chiefsmokingbud]

decided to "attempt" to make some candy.
Here's the recipe, substitute the butter with canna butter:

Nutty Butter Crunch
Preparation time: 2 hours, including cooling time

Yield: 30 to 35 large pieces

1 cup (2 sticks) butter plus enough butter for coating the baking pan heavily

2 cups raw almonds or pecans

1-1/2 cups granulated sugar

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

3 tablespoons water

12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped, for coating

1. Heavily butter a 9 x 13-inch aluminum baking pan and set aside.

2. Chop 1 cup of nuts into medium pieces using a large knife; set them aside for use in cooking the crunch. Using a food processor, finely chop 1 cup of almonds for topping the finished crunch; put them aside.

3. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup of butter, the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat and stir constantly until the batch comes to a boil (about 11 minutes).

4. When the batch comes to a boil, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, being sure not to let it touch the bottom of the pan.

5. When the temperature reaches 250 degrees, stir in 1 cup of chopped nuts and continue stirring. When the temperature reaches 300 degrees, remove from heat, pour into a baking pan, and spread quickly and evenly with a rubber spatula.

6. Allow the batch to cool for about an hour at room temperature (it should be cool to the touch); then remove it from the pan by hand and place it on wax paper.

7. In a microwaveable bowl, melt the chocolate on high until it reaches about 100 degrees (about 2 minutes). Stop the microwave every 30 seconds to stir. On the third stop, check the temperature with a chocolate thermometer to see how close to 100 degrees the chocolate is. Don't heat the chocolate past 115 degrees because you don't want to scorch it.

8. Pour about half the chocolate on one side of the crunch, and use an offset spatula to spread it to create a thin chocolate layer. Then heavily sprinkle about half the finely chopped nuts on top immediately. Cover the candy completely and place wax paper on top of it.

9. Carefully turn the crunch over, trying not to spill loose nuts, and repeat the chocolate/nut coating on that side.

10. Place the candy in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes until the chocolate sets. Remove the candy from the refrigerator and break it by hand into large pieces.

it's in the fridge, I'll let you know how it goes

researved for results

well so far i've ended up with a dish that is solid sugar on the bottom and butter on the top. haven't coated with choclate yet. Anyone know if this 2 layer is normal?

<edit to add>

Well I screwed up and didn't boil the mixture long enough. So i melted it back down, boiled longer, and poured the mixture on a cookie sheet. The trick is for it to lay thin so it cools faster. After cool to the touch I spread milk chocolate on both sides.

My wife had a small piece................and she was ripped hard LOl. I haven't tried it yet. I made my butter @ 1oz buds to 1 lb butter. So far out of that I've made oatmeal cookies, brownies, and this. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

Next butter I make will be from honey oil into butter.

PS. Takes a piece about the size of a 50 cent piece to really mess you up

Sorry, I have and it's the sh*t. This last batch of butter I made tasted real green. So you could taste it in the oatmeal cookies and the brownies. This on the other hand with the choc and sugar, if you didn't know better you wouldn't know canna butter was in it. About a 50 cent piece size rocks my world. being hardcore with a good tolerance says alot about it's potency.

I'm pretty sure the reason the canna butter tasted so green was because the strain I used. Astro boy which is no longer available is THE smelliest pot I have ever grown. I can open the jar and literally stink up the whole room with the smell of cat piss and skunk. I'm not joking it is that strong. In fact my wife can smell it at the other side of the house. I've made butter plenty and this was the most green tasting I've ever made. I used all of it so like I said the next batch will be made with honey oil so it's not so green tasting.
I highly recommend this recipe. Just be sure to get the butter and suger mix up to 300 and be sure to lay it out on a cookie sheet as thin as possible
