#MEwx Recipe correction

A few posts back I posted a recipe for Chocolate dipped buttercrunch candy. It was not complete. The complete and correct recipe appears below. My thanks for the vigilance of the reader who caught the error.   Andrea’s Chocolate-Dipped Buttercrunch Buttercrunch is a holiday tradition in Kathy Gunst’s family. (Jesse Costa/WBUR) Kathy’s Note:  My sister-in-law, Andrea Gunst, shared her buttercrunch recipe with me many years ago, and it changed my holiday traditions forever. This is the stuff that everyone begs for year after year – be sure to make multiple batches. Buttercrunch, a caramel coated in chocolate and ground nuts, keeps for over a week and makes a great gift. You can double the recipe, but if you want to make more than that, don’t multiply the recipe by three or four – simply keep doubling. Serves 6 to 8; once you taste it, it’s hard to stop! Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon light Karo syrup 2 tablespoo
