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 caramelize 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!)

Patience Candy

4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup milk
2 cups chopped nuts (any kind)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
  1. In a heavy saucepan or skillet, heat about one fourth of the sugar until melted and light brown (carmelized).
  2. 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° to 236°F). Remove from heat; add nuts, butter and salt; beat until creamy.
  3. Pour into well-greased 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan; cool before cutting into squares.

Makes 18 servings.
