Yeah, right, like I can actually make this like Mom's. I can put the recipe here, but I have yet to meet anyone who can duplicate it just right.

2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla

In 2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 cup water. Cook to hard ball stage (260 degrees) stirring only till sugar dissolves. Meanwhile, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Gradually pour syrup over egg whites, beating at high speed on electric mixer. Add vanilla and beat till candy holds its shape, 4-5 mins. Quickly drop from a teaspoon onto waxed paper. Makes about 40 pieces.
