Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume when beating. A heavy-bottomed saucepan is crucial to prevent scorching and ensure even cooking of the sugar mixture. Be patient during the cooking process; the candy needs to reach the precise temperature for the right consistency. Work quickly when dropping the candy onto waxed paper, as it will start to set as it cools. For a variation, try adding a pinch of sea salt to the finished candy for a delightful sweet and salty contrast.
