- 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.
- 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.
