3 c. sugar
3/4 c. white syrup
3/4 c. water
2 egg whites
1 pkg. Jello
1 c. chopped nuts
1/2 c. coconut

Mix sugar, syrup, and water in a pan and cook to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and cook to hard ball stage (252 degrees), stirring occasionally. In the meantime, beat egg whites until fluffy, then add dry Jello and continue beating until they hold stiff peaks. Slowly pour syrup into egg whites, beating constantly. Continue beating until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape. Quickly add nuts and coconut. Pour into greased pans. (Coconut can be omitted for those watching their saturated oil intake.)
