Seafoam Candy
2 egg whites
3 cups light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large bowl beat the egg whites. In a large saucepan dissolve the
sugar and salt in the water. Cook without stirring, to the hard-ball stage.
Remove from heat and pour slowly over the beaten egg whites, beating
constantly. Add the vanilla extract. Continue beating until the candy cools
and will hold its shape. Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper, or spread into a
buttered pan and mark in squares. Top with chopped nuts.
