Ingredients

24 servings

2 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup water
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 3–4 minutes. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, making sure the tip does not touch the bottom.
2
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the syrup without stirring until it reaches 260°F (127°C) on the candy thermometer (firm-ball stage), about 12–15 minutes. Watch closely once the syrup begins to boil — it can climb quickly in the final minutes.
