1/2 c. water
2 c. sugar
Dash of salt
1 pt. jar of marshmallow cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. chopped nuts or fruit

Place water, sugar, and salt in heavy pan. Bring to rolling boil and continue to boil until 250 degrees or hard ball stage. Place marshmallow cream in bowl beforehand. Add boiling syrup all at once. Stir until mixture forms soft peaks. Add vanilla and nuts (or fruit). Stir well and work quickly because this sets up pretty fast.

Drop in puffs on buttered foil or cookie sheet.
