Instructions: Mix sugar, corn syrup and water, bring to boil over low heat, stirring occasionally, until a little syrup forms a hard ball in cold water

(252 degrees on a candy thermometer - about 15 minutes..Meanwhile beat egg whites until stiff but not dry..Then add Jello, 1 tablespoon at a time and beat until mixture will stand in stiff peaks.. Then pour syrup in a THIN STREAM over the egg white mixture beating constantly..Continue beating until mixture will hold its shape and loses its gloss- about 10 minutes. Add nuts and this is when I add a few drops of food coloring. QUICKLY drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and allow to dry. Allow about 2 hours to dry. Store in covered containers, makes about 7 dozen candies.

Note: If candy becomes too stiff during beating: add a few drops of HOT water.....
