2 1/2 c. sugar
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1/4 c. white corn syrup
1/2 c. water
1 c. nuts, chopped
2 tsp. extract (vanilla, almond or maple, etc)

Bring 2 1/2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup and 1/2 cup water to boil. Stir slowly after it comes to a boil. When it forms a hard ball in very cold water remove from fire and pour a little at a time into a large mixing bowl containing the beaten egg whites. Use an electric mixer and beat this until candy holds its shape. Then add chopped nuts and extract of your choice. If coloring is desired, use a drop of pure food coloring. Pour into greased pan and cut when cool.
