"Easy to make. Tastes like your grandma's divinity. No fail, you'll get it your first try; no more trying several times before it's perfect. Comes out perfectly the first time every time."
1Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water together in a microwave-safe bowl.
2Cook sugar mixture in the microwave until mixture is 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of sugar mixture dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball, 3 minutes.
3Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
4Stir sugar mixture into egg whites until no longer glossy, about 7 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
5Drop candy by teaspoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper. Let stand until cooled, 15 minutes.
