3 c. C & H sugar
1/2 c. white Karo syrup
3/4 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. egg white (2 med.)
1 c. nuts (optional)

Combine sugar, syrup and water. Cook over low heat. Bring to a boil. Cover and boil 3 minutes without stirring. Uncover and cook to hard ball stage. Add salt and vanilla to egg whites. Beat until stiff. Beat in hot syrup slowly, pouring a thin stream from a height of 1 foot. Stir in nuts and beat until it sets. Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper or pour in greased pan. Electric mixer can be used most of the way.
