Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3 oz) flavored Jello (any flavor)
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 egg whites
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Attach a candy thermometer and continue cooking without stirring until the temperature reaches 260°F (hard ball stage).
- While the syrup is cooking, beat egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
- When syrup reaches 260°F, slowly pour it in a thin stream into the egg whites while beating constantly.
- Add the dry Jello powder and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the mixture holds its shape and becomes less glossy.
- Fold in chopped nuts if using.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let sit at room temperature until set, about 1-2 hours.
Notes
- Choose different Jello flavors for various colors and tastes.
- Work quickly, as the candy sets fast once beaten to the right consistency.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
