The first time I ate this candy was given to me by a colleague and bought it on Taobao. The taste of red dates and walnuts is very strong. So I went home and wanted to do it myself to make it feel safer and healthier.
China's herbal medicine book "Ben Jing" records that red dates are sweet and warm, and return to the spleen and stomach meridians. They have the functions of nourishing the middle and replenishing qi, nourishing blood and tranquilizing the nerves, and relaxing medicinal properties. Modern pharmacology has found that red dates contain rich nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, trace calcium and various amino acids.
Walnuts have high medicinal value. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that walnuts are warm, sweet and non-toxic, and have effects such as strengthening the stomach, replenishing blood, moistening the lungs, and nourishing the spirit.
Eating more red dates and walnuts is good for women's health. This sugar is really killing two birds with one stone.

Steps for Red dates and walnut candies
1
Prepare walnut kernels, whether you bake them or not. I used walnuts to break them open myself, so I didn't bake them.
2
Boil the red dates with water until soft, then add appropriate amount of red date water and beat them into mud with a blender. Sift and mix into mud. This step is so tiring.
3
Put the sugar in the pan, add 60g of water, and cook over low heat. No need to stir, turn off the heat when the big bubbles turn into small bubbles, about 20 minutes.
4
Wait until the brewed syrup cools slightly, add 100g of water to the corn flour and pour well.
5
Add the light cream and heat over low heat to mix well.
6
Wait until the syrup thickens, add the jujube paste and mix well. Continue to heat and stir until solid lines can be drawn. Stir in one direction.
7
Add walnuts and mix well, place them in a plate to cool, wait until they harden, cut into slices and wrap them with glutinous rice paper to preserve.Red dates and walnut candies Make Tips
Be sure to let the syrup cool before adding corn flour, otherwise it will form into small pieces and affect the taste. The stirring must be carried out in one direction. If you like to eat harder sugar, add more sugar and less maltose, and if you are softer, add more maltose and less sugar. You can master it yourself.
