      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.
