Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat; stir continuously until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
Step 2
Drop from a greased spoon onto waxed paper. Let stand at room temperature, turning candy over once, until the outside of candy is firm, at least 12 hours. Store in an airtight container.
Step 3
Beat egg whites in a 1 1/2-quart glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Continue to beat while slowly pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites. Add vanilla; beat until mixture holds its shape and begins to lose its gloss. Fold in walnuts.
