Maple Walnut Buttercrunch Ice Cream
If you have a candy thermometer, use it while making the buttercrunch; cook the sugar mixture to 250°. If not, just cook the sugar until it's golden, as the recipe directs. Chop the buttercrunch into coarse pieces with the food processor, or place it in a zip-top plastic bag and break it with a rolling pin. This recipe also earned our Test Kitchens' highest rating.
