Walnut or Almond Candy
From Vivienne Alchech Miner’s “From My Grandmother’s Kitchen: A Sephardic Cookbook

10 oz sugar
10 oz coarsely chopped walnuts or almonds

Melt sugar in a deep pan on low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.  When melted and golden, quickly remove from heat, stir in chopped nuts and pour onto a lightly oiled surface. Wearing protective, oiled gloves (and carefully – mixture is HOT), quickly shape into walnut-sized balls.  Wrap individually in plastic wrap or put in tiny paper cases (like those for marzipan).  Store tightly covered.
