Boil 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup of corn syrup until a little dropped in water will form a hard, crisp ball. Have whites of 2 eggs beaten until stiff. Pour the boiling candy over these, whipping constantly, until it becomes thick and stiff. Drop by spoonfuls on buttered paper, forming peaked, irregular shapes. By adding desired flavors, excellent mints may be thus made. Nut meats also add to this candy.
