A traditional Christmas treat from Grandma's.
Prep: Have 5 or 6 shallow glasses 3/4 full of cold water nearby
4 c sugar
1 c karo syrup
1 c water
Cook and boil until you can take a small spoonful of syrup and drop into glasses with cold water until it "crackles" (about 230 degrees). It's done-take off of stove immediately.
While this syrup is cooking, beat 4 egg whites (use of a cold bowl is best). Beat until fluffy and white. Once syrup is done, pour into fluffed egg whites, in a SMALL STREAM, gradually. Beat in 2 tsp vanilla (and food coloring if desired). Beat until it mostly cools and holds it's shape when dropped on wax paper (if it doesn't hold it's shape, beat longer). Once ready, spoon onto wax paper and let stand to keep shape...enjoy-they are very rich :)
