2 pounds sugar.
½ pound glucose.
3 ounces butter.
1½ teaspoonfuls soda.
⅔ pint water.
1 teaspoonful vanilla.
Black walnuts.
Cook sugar, glucose and water same as in peanut brittle, and when up
to 275, remove the thermometer and stir in the butter only, and not
the walnuts. Continue stirring after the butter is in until the candy
is a golden brown color; then take off the stove and stir in the
broken walnut meats, as many as you wish, but the more you put in the
better it will taste. Stir them in thoroughly, and also the vanilla;
then stir in the soda, the same as in peanut brittle, and pour out on
greased slab. Do not flop this batch over and stretch it, as it is not
necessary. As soon as batch is partly cool, mark in small oblong pieces
and when cold, it will break very easily. This is very fine candy on
account of the flavor the black walnuts give it. It is also very fine
coated with chocolate.
