BROWN SUGAR DIVINITY

1 1/2 C. granulated sugar
1 1/2 C. firmly packed light brown sugar
2/3 C. water
1/2 C. light corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Dash salt

Combine sugars and water in a heavy saucepan. Place over low heat and
stir until sugar is dissolved, then stir in corn syrup. Bring mixture to
a boil; cover pan and boil gently for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook
without stirring to
252°F (hard ball stage). While syrup is cooking, in a large mixing bowl,
beat egg whites and salt to stiff peaks.
As soon as the syrup reaches hard ball stage pour it in a steady stream
into egg whites, beating constantly with an electric mixer at high
speed. Continue
beating until the mixture begins to lose its gloss and it is stiff
enough to hold its shape when dropped.
Quickly stir in vanilla extract. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.
Cool completely, and store in a covered container.
