2 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. light Karo syrup
1/2 c. water
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp. vanilla
nuts

Bring the sugar, Karo syrup, and water to a boil. When it reaches 235 degrees, beat the egg white. At 250 degrees, add 1/3 of the cooked mixture to the egg whites and beat. At 260 degrees add another third of the cooked mixture of the egg whites, still beating. At 275 degrees, add the remaining mixture. Fold air into the mixture with a spoon. Add vanilla and nuts. When it begins to set, put on waxed paper like a drop cookie. Let cool.
