Instructions

• Gather all your ingredients.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
