Milk And Walnut Candy

Ingredients

• Granulated sugar: 5 cups
• Milk: 1.5 cups
• Walnuts: 0.5 cup
• Vanilla sugar: 10 g

Method

1. 1.Add the granulated sugar and milk to a heavy-bottomed pot. Start heating over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
2. 2.Stir the mixture approximately every 2-3 minutes to prevent the sugar from burning at the bottom. The mixture should boil for about 1 hour. The color of the sugar mixture will gradually darken and it will thicken.
3. 3.In the final stage of preparation, take a little of the sugar mixture with a spoon and drop it onto a cold surface (e.g., a greased plate). If it crystallizes quickly and forms a solid structure, your mixture is ready.
4. 4.About 4-5 minutes before it is fully ready, add the chopped walnuts and vanilla sugar to the mixture. Be careful not to chop the walnuts too finely so they can be felt when eating.
5. 5.Prepare a greased pan in advance and pour the ready sugar mixture into it. You can cut the candy with a knife before it hardens completely.

Notes

• You can also roast the walnuts in advance over low heat, but be careful as walnuts burn quickly.
• The crystallization process occurs when the sugar solution reaches its saturation point. The ratio of milk and sugar must be perfectly balanced — if there is too little sugar and too much milk, crystallization will not occur and the mixture will remain liquid. Conversely, if there is too much sugar and too little milk, the solution crystallizes faster and has a harder structure.
