     Title: Patience Candy
Categories: Five, Candy, Snacks, Nuts
     Yield: 18 Servings

     4 c  Granulated sugar
     1 c  Milk
     2 c  Chopped nuts; any kind
     2 tb Butter
     1 ts Salt

 Patience is a virtue, and you'll need it while you're stirring this
 candy. But if you fix in your mind the end result - a caramelized
 confection strewn with nuts - we think you'll agree that it's worth
 it. (This is a great family activity; everyone gets a turn
 stirring!)

 In a heavy saucepan or skillet, heat about one fourth of the sugar
 until melted and light brown (carmelized).

 In another saucepan, combine remaining sugar and milk; cook over
 medium-low heat, stirring until dissolved. Slowly add caramelized
 sugar, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until mixture reaches
 the soft ball stage; it will form a ball when dropped in cold water
 (234°F to 236°F). Remove from heat; add nuts, butter and salt; beat
 until creamy.

 Pour into well-greased 9x9x2" pan; cool before cutting into
 squares.
