Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ounce(s) 1 block unsweetened baking chocolate
2 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup(s) cold water
1/2 cup(s) 5.5 ounce can chocolate flavored syrup
2 - egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1/2 cup(s) coarsely broken nuts

Steps:

  • Melt baking chocolate in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Set aside over warm water. Combine brown sugar, water, and chocolate syrup in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Continue cooking, without stirring, to 250F (hard ball stage) or until syrup mixture, when dropped into very cold water, forms a firm ball that is hard enough to hold its shape, yet plastic. Remove from heat.
  • Immediately beat egg whites in large mixer bowl until stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup in thin stream over beaten egg whites, beating constantly on a high speed. Continue beating until mixture forms peaks when dropped from a spoon, about 10 minutes. Quickly stir in vanilla and melted chocolate by hand. Fold in nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper covered cookie sheet; cool. Store in airtight container.
