How to make it

  • Combine sugar, water, syrup, and salt over low heat, stirring until dissolved.
  • Boil without stirring to soft crack stage, 260 degrees (go to 260 no matter what stage
  • your candy thermometer calls it). Beat egg whites until stiff; pour syrup over whites,
  • stirring constantly with the mixer. Beat until creamy; add nuts when mixture loses gloss.
  • Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper (this is where you need help to get them formed).
  • Let candy set and serve. Nuts may be omitted. Be sure to make when the weather is fair.
  • Can also use jell-o to make different flavors,just mix with the syrup before you pour into egg white mixture
  • The mixture will be very hot when you are dropping it onto the waxed paper. Try scooping
  • some with a teaspoon and scrape the mixture off with another teaspoon so you don't burn
  • your fingers. You will have to work fast!
