Ingredients

3 c. sugar
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 c. white Karo syrup
2 egg whites, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts

Preparation

When syrup is at hard-ball stage, pour syrup in mixture slowly, beating egg white all the while.
I use a hand mixer. Continue beating until the shine is gone and mixture drips from the mixer blades in a small ribbon.
Immediately pour in chopped nuts mixing well with a spoon.
You can pour in a pan buttered or pan spreading immediately.
You can also drop by spoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper sprayed with Pam.
It helps if you have someone to pour the syrup while you beat.
