The candy is known for its light, airy texture and melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. It's a great treat to share with friends and family during the holiday season, or to satisfy a sweet tooth anytime of the year.

Instructions

1.	In a saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water.

4.	While the mixture is cooking, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
5.	Gradually pour the hot sugar mixture into the egg whites, beating constantly.
6.	Add the vanilla extract and beat until the mixture forms peaks and starts to lose its gloss.
