1 cup maple sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Walnut meats

Cook the sugars and water to 240 degrees F, or to the soft-ball stage; add the almond extract. Cool to lukewarm, then beat until creamy, yet firm.

Knead until smooth, form into small balls, and press a walnut meat into each ball.
