Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Corn syrup
- 1/2 cup Water
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
- 1In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches the hard-ball stage (250-265°F or 121-130°C) on a candy thermometer.
- 2In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while continuing to beat on medium speed. Add the nuts and continue to beat until the mixture is cool and thick, about 5-10 minutes.
- 3Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it cool completely until set. Once set, cut into squares.
