Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
  • 10 miniature marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3-1/2 cups Fisher® Chef's Naturals Walnut Halves and Pieces

  1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, cook 10 to 15 minutes, until the mixture reaches 238°F. (Or until a small amount of syrup dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball easily flattened when removed from the water.)

  4. Cool to room temperature and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
