Ingredients

• 2 2/3 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water (1 T less on humid days)
• 2 egg whites
• 1 t vanilla
• 2/3 cup broken nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Heat sugar, corn syrup, and water in 2 quart saucepan over low heat stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Cook without stirring to 260 degrees on candy thermometer, or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball. Remove from heat.

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; continue beating while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites. Add vanilla; beat until mixture holds its shape and becomes slightly dull (mixture may become too stiff for mixture). Fold in nuts. Drop mixture from tip of buttered spoon onto waxed paper.
