This seems to be old, traditional American recipe (as cook book is American origin). Is this familiar to anyone in here?
Boil together over moderate heat, without stirring, one-half cup strong coffee, two tablespoons butter, and two cups sugar. Boil to soft ball stage (238 degrees F/114 C). Remove the pan from stove. Beat rapidly until it creams. Stir in a cup of chopped walnuts, press firmly into a buttered pan and cut into squares. (I used a 6 1/2-inch square pan.)
* nice coffee flavor and a texture similar to pralines
* a slight tendency to crumble when you cut them
* from: Lycoming Valley Cook Book (1907)
