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
Chef's tipUse the same amount, keeping the same form - whole, chopped, or toasted. - 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.

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.
