Method

  1. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Put the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan and melt over a medium heat for 3-4 mins, swirling the pan but never stirring, until light amber in colour. Working quickly, stir in the walnuts and salt, tip onto the prepared tray and leave to cool completely.
  2. Put the Stilton, soft cheese, yogurt and garlic in a bowl and blitz with a stick blender until mostly smooth. Stir in two-thirds of the chives and a generous grinding of black pepper. Roughly crumble over the walnuts, scatter over the remaining chives and a little more black pepper and serve with crudités and bread slices, if you like.

Tip: Make the dip up to two days in advance and keep in the fridge. The candied walnuts will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
