Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup room temperature water
- 2 egg whites
- pinch of fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2/3 Chopped pecans or walnuts , optional
Instructions
- In a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, corn syrup and water until the sugar has dissolved. Add a candy thermometer and allow the mixture to come up to 260°F WITHOUT STIRRING.
- In a separate and clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric hand mixer or in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment until they are frothy and stiff peaks form.
- Switch the attachment on your hand mixter to the beaters or stand mixer to the paddle attachment. Continue to mix the egg whites while pouring in the sugar syrup in a thin and consistent stream. This works best by transferring the mixture to a glass measuring cup with a pouring spout.
- Continue to mix for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the mixture is thick and slightly dull. Do not overmix, it can become too thick.
- Test the mixture by spooning a small dollop onto parchment paper, if it holds its shape, it is ready. If it starts to melt, it needs more time. SEE NOTES.
- When ready, fold in the vanilla and salt, then the chopped nuts, if using.
- Using two spoons lightly coated in cooking spray, drop approximately tablespoon size amounts onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. You will make about 30-40 mounds.
- Let the candy set at room temperature for up to 12 hours before storing in an airtight container.

Notes
- If the mixture does not hold or set, bring it back to the mixing bowl and fold in 1-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar until it does hold its shape.
