3 c. sugar, divided
1/4 c. boiling water
1 c. non-dairy liquid coffee cream
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. grated orange rind
1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts

Melt 1 cup sugar in heavy 3 quart saucepan, stirring constantly so it does not burn. Very carefully add boiling water, stirring to mix. Add remaining sugar, coffee cream, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir until all ingredients are blended together and mixture boils. Cook to 238 degrees without stirring. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm. When lukewarm, beat until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape. Fold in grated orange rind and nuts. Spread in a buttered 8" square pan. Cut into squares. Makes 48 pieces.
