Voila, the recipe: [updated 01/01/2010]

* 4 cups granulated sugar
* 1 1/2 cups corn flour
* 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 3 cups water
* 1 cup walnuts
* 1/2 cup coconut shavings (for decorating)
* 1 cup confectioners sugar (for decorating, optional)

Put the sugar, cream of tartar and 1 cup of water in a pan and boil for about 30 minutes until the mixture gets a glue-like consistency. Then remove from the heat and leave it aside.

Mix the corn starch and the remaining water in another pan. Stir well and cook until the mixture begins to form a ball inside the pan. Then slowly add the sugar mixture while stirring constantly and allow to boil for a while until it becomes really really sticky and its color changes to gold. Add the walnuts and various flavorings you prefer. :)

Pour the mixture in a oiled container and leave it to cool completely. Then cut in any shape you like and roll the cuts in the coconut shavings.
