How to Make Swedish Hard Candies Knck
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, and ¼ cup heavy cream.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, until the mixture reaches 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer. This indicates the firm-ball stage and usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to burn the mixture.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or hazelnuts).
- Quickly pour the candy mixture into small, fluted waxed paper candy cups or onto a well-buttered baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If poured onto a baking sheet, allow the candies to cool and harden completely before cutting into small squares using oiled scissors or a sharp knife.
- Once completely cool, wrap individual candies in waxed paper or cellophane for storage.
