How to Make Docinho De Nozes Walnut Candies
- In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until the butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the finely chopped walnuts and continue to stir constantly, making sure the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a firm, slightly sticky consistency (it should pull away from the sides of the pan). This is crucial to prevent burning.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent it from setting too quickly.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or a plate. Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop small portions of the candy mixture onto the prepared surface, spacing them apart.
- Let the candies cool completely, until they firm up. This should take around 15 to 20 minutes
- Once the candies are cool and firm, you can enjoy your homemade Docinho de Nozes! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
