Ingredients:  
3 C white sugar
1/2 C warm water
1/2 C white corn syrup
3 egg whites or 1/2 C (measure to be sure)
1/2 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Nuts if desired
Directions:
Directions:
Have all utensils free from grease and DO NOT USE PLASTIC! Combine sugar, water and syrup in a pan and bring to a boil. Cook to a hard ball stage (test in cold water). While syrup is cooking, beat the egg whites with cream of tarter and salt. Do not beat until dry, but just until whites peak. When syrup is ready, pour slowly into egg whites with mixer at a moderate speed. Continue to beat until mixture will stand in soft peaks. Ten to 15 minutes would be about right, but is depends on the temperature of the room and whether the bowl is glass or metal. Don't give up! Add Vanilla and nuts only after candy is ready to drop. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Makes about three dozen pieces or one pound. Good Luck!

Personal Notes:
If you are using a Kitchen aid mixer you only need to mix about 5 minutes. This recipe is very good and it really works. It also works well to have someone help in spooning it out before it sets up.
