Tips for Success
Whip Egg Whites Until Stiff Peaks Form: Make sure your egg whites are fully whipped before making the sugar mixture for your candy. Beat them on high speed until stiff peaks form. Dullness Indicates Doneness: Once the mixture loses it’s glossiness, check it immediately to see if it will hold its shape. If you overmix it, your candy will become dry. There is a sweet spot right after it stops being glossy. Don’t Store in a Humid Area: This candy is best kept in a cool, dry place. It will become sticky if exposed to humidity. Try Different Flavors: In addition to adding other nuts or dried fruits to your candy, you can also get creative with the extract you use. Almond, peppermint or coconut would be great!
