- Remove the lid, clip a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it forms a soft ball in cold water, 236 degrees F.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the contents to cool to about 110 degrees F, or until the bottom of the pan feels lukewarm.

- Keeping your hands well buttered, knead the fudge until it can be shaped into 2, 9 inch, rolls.
- Brush the rolls with the beaten egg white and roll them in the broken nuts, pressing the nuts into the roll to make them adhere.
- Enclose the rolls in plastic wrap or wax paper. Chill them.
- To serve, cut each roll of fudge into about 18 slices.
