      Yield: 48 Pieces
 
  2 1/2 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Light corn syrup
    1/2 c  Water
    1/4 ts Salt
      2    Egg whites
      1 ts Vanilla
      1 c  Walnuts or pecans; coarsely
           -chopped; (optional)
 
  Mix together sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt in 2 qt saucepan.
  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to
  boil. Reduce heat; cook without stirring until temperature reaches
  248°F, or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold
  water forms a firm ball which does not flatten on removal from water.
  Just before temperature reaches 248°F, beat egg whites in large bowl
  until stiff but not dry. Beating constantly, on high speed of
  electric mixer, slowly pour about 1/2 the hot syrup over egg whites.
  Then cook remaining syrup to 272°F, or until a small amount
  separates into threads which are hard but not brittle when dropped
  into very cold water. Beating constantly, pour hot syrup over first
  mixture about 1 tb at a time, beating well after each addition.
  Continue beating until mixture begins to lose its gloss and a small
  amount of mixture holds soft peak when dropped from spoon. (If
  mixture becomes too stiff for mixer, beat with wooden spoon.) Mix in
  vanilla and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.
