Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water in saucepan.

Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved; cook without stirring to 260° (a little dropped into cold water forms a hard ball).

Remove from heat and pour, beating constantly in a fine stream into the beaten egg whites.

Add vanilla and continue beating until mixture holds its shape and becomes slightly dull; fold in nuts.

Drop quickly from tip of buttered spoon onto waxed paper in individual peaks or spread in butter pan and cut into 1-inch squares when firm.

Makes 48 squares.
