Steps:
- Heat the condensed milk, walnuts, and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Make sure you keep mixing the pan constantly with a wooden spoon. When the mixture begins to "dis-glue" from the pan or when you can see the bottom of the pan after scraping the wooden spoon on the bottom of the pan, you know the cooking process is over. This will happen shortly after the mixture reaches boiling point.
- Remove from heat and transfer mixture on a well greased plate.
- Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Grease your hands well and form 1 inch balls with your hands. Roll the balls into a plate full of finely chopped walnutes. Cover the ball well with the walnuts. You may need to wash your hands in between rolling out these candies, because after a while the mixture will begin clinging to your hands. Wash out your hands, grease them up again (I just use a spray bottle) and begin rolling again. Serve in miniature paper liners.
Tips:
- To make the walnut candies even more flavorful, toast the walnuts in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- To prevent the candies from sticking to each other, coat them in powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
- Store the walnut candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
These walnut candies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sweet and nutty treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these walnut candies a try!
