Sees Candy Scotch Kisses
Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon butterscotch flavoring
- 1 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves
Once the mixture boils, stop stirring and insert a candy thermometer
Continue to cook until the temperature reaches 240F 115C or the soft ball stage
While the sugar mixture is cooking, beat the egg whites and salt in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form
Once the sugar mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly
Gradually pour the hot sugar mixture into the beaten egg whites while continuing to beat at high speed
Add vanilla extract and butterscotch flavoring, and beat until the mixture thickens and holds its shape
If using nuts, fold in the chopped nuts at this point
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto waxed paper or a silicone baking mat to form individual kisses
Let the Scotch Kisses cool and set at room temperature for a few hours or overnight
Once set, store in an airtight container
Enjoy your homemade Sees Candy Scotch Kisses
