My grandmother would divine the shit out of this recipe. It's really just whipped meringue fudge, but it's the whipping that makes it sooooo freakin' good. Get a friend to help beat it, and you'll do yourself proud with this divine deliciousness.
2 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 light corn syrup
1/2 cup water*
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup chopped walnuts
Heat sugar, corn syrup and water in 2qt saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cook, without stirring to 260 degrees on a candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball. Remove from heat.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; continue beating while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites. Add vanilla; beat until mixture holds its shape and become sightly dull (mixture may become too stiff for mixer - this is where your friend comes in). Fold in nuts. Drop mixture from the tip of buttered spoon onto waxed paper. Store in refrigerator.
*Use 1 tablespoon less on humid days
