3 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
1 pkg. Jello gelatin (any flavor)
3/4 c. light corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 c. chopped nuts

Mix sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil over low heat stirring to dissolve sugar. Continue boiling stirring occasionally until it forms a hard ball in cold water (252 degrees F.) about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add Jello, 1 tablespoon at a time, beat until mixture stands in stiff peaks. Then pour syrup in a thin stream over egg white mixture beating constantly. Continue until it holds its shape and loses its gloss (about 10 minutes). Add nuts and drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper and allow outside of candy to dry. Store in covered container.
