- 2 large egg-whites
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla flavoring
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Beat the egg-whites by having an electric mixer until stiff. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
Place the sugar, corn syrup, and water inside a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high temperature. Stir to dissolve the sugar, provide a boil and prepare before the temperature reaches 260°F on the chocolate thermometer, or even the hard-ball stage, when some of the mixture dropped into cold water holds its shape, ten to fifteen minutes.
Remove in the heat. Pour inside a thin good flow in to the beaten egg-whites and beat by having an electric mixer on high for around 3 minutes, scraping lower the edges from the bowl. Add some vanilla, and continue beating on high just before the chocolate begins to lose its gloss, five to six minutes.
Once the beaters are lifted, the mix should fall inside a ribbon that mounds on itself. Add some pecans, stir to combine, and rapidly drop the mix by tablespoons to the prepared sheet. When the mixture flattens out, beat again for one minute more. When the mixture is simply too thick to decrease, beat inside a couple of drops of warm water before the chocolate is really a softer consistency.
