Cinnamon Sugar Walnuts

1 c. sugar
5 oz. milk
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
2 1/2 c. walnuts (or pecans)

In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, cinnamon and salt. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 238 degrees F (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and walnuts. Spread onto waxed paper to harden. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
