Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan.
  3. Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture reaches 260°F (hard-ball stage).
  4. Meanwhile, in a stand mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Once the syrup reaches 260°F, slowly pour it into the egg whites while beating on high speed. Add vanilla extract and continue beating until the mixture holds its shape and becomes less glossy.
  6. Fold in pecans if using. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Let the candy set at room temperature until firm.
