Ingredients
Serves 16
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup peppermint candy (crushed)
Hot water (a sprinkle, if necessary)

Steps:

  • Prep Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 1 hour Tools: Electric mixer Sauce pan Candy thermometer Wax paper Ziploc® Container Directions 1. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer to form very stiff peaks. 2. In a sauce pan stir sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and water together until sugar is dissolved. 3. Using a candy thermometer to measure the temperature, bring sugar mixture to a boil to achieve hard ball stage (290 degrees F.). 4. Slowly pour sugar mixture into egg whites while beating with electric mixer. 5. Beat combined mixture for about 5 minutes until stiff. (Mixture should hold its shape when dropped by a spoon onto wax paper. If mixture becomes too stiff, add a tiny bit of hot water.) 6. Using a tablespoon, drop mixture onto wax paper and sprinkle with crushed peppermint. 7. Store candy in layers, between wax paper, in an airtight Ziploc® Container and refrigerate if you have high humidity.
