Pecan Divinity Rolls

Ingredients:

Ingredients for inside: Ingredients for Caramel Cover:
2 1/2 c, sugar 1 c. white sugar
2/3 c. light corn syrup 1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. water 1/2 c. light syrup
2 egg whites 1 1/2 c. canned milk
1/2 tsp vanilla 1/4 c. margarine
finely chopped nuts

Directions:

Cook sugar, syrup and water until a drop tested in cold water has reached the hard crack stage. Pour this slowly over the egg whites which have been beaten until very stiff. Add vanilla and continue beating till stiff enough and cool enough to handle by hand.
Form into rolls, put on cookie sheet and put in freezer while you make the caramel. Cook ingredients for caramel cover until they form a firm ball in the cold water test. Cool slightly, but while still quite warm, dip the cold divinity balls in the caramel. Then roll in finely chopped nuts.
