Round cream-style candies 1 cup maple sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup water 1/4 tsp almond extract Walnut meats Cook sugars and water together to 240° (soft-ball stage), add almond extract. Cool to lukewarm then beat vigorously until creamy-firm. Knead on cold, smooth surface (marble candy board or use a cookie sheet) until smooth. Form into small balls, press walnut half into each. Sugar (including brown) is basically empty of all nutrients except calories of um, ah, sugar. So eat 'em up, below, here, if you can get some maple sugar/syrup! Of course it's fattening, it's sugar, ain't it? But it's got a lot of potassium and such like good stuff.Iknow it`s not good for us Diabetics :(( but just one is ok
