Great idea! Note that:
чарівний - magical or enchanting (not a noun)
цукерки (not цукерни)
Чорнослив is specifically a smoked prune, like the one in the candy
The word волоський is, in fact, an adjective derived from a proper noun. It's unclear what exactly the noun was. It might have been a place name or an ethnic group name. Right now the word is used in conjunction with "горіх (nut)" to mean "walnut". You are obliged to use both words together, "волоський горіх", to say walnut, as otherwise "волоський" would be just an adjective meaning "coming from Voloh/Volos".
And yes, that's a cursive "г":)
P.S. "Горіховий" basically means "made of/with nut", which can refer to any nuts or specifically the wood of walnut tree. So it can be "горіхові цукерки" and "горіховий стіл".

Волоський means Wallachian (from Wallachia, a region in southern Romania). So walnut in Ukrainian is Wallachian nut.
