2 egg whites 1 package(3 ounces) orange gelatin 3 cups sugar 3/4 cup hot water 3/4 cup light corn syrup
Line a 9 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, extending foil over 2 sides of pan; grease foil. In a large bowl, use a heavy duty mixer to beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually beat in dry gelatin until well blended; set aside. Butter sides of a heavy medium sauce pan. Combine sugar, hot water, and corn syrup in saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Using a pastry brush dipped in hot water, wash down any sugar crystals on sides of pan, making sure thermometer does not touch bottom of pan. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 254 degrees. Test about 1/2 tsp of mixture in ice water. Mixture will roll into a hard ball in ice water and will remain hard when removed from water. While beating at high speed, slowly pour hot mixture over egg whites; beat until candy thickens and begins to hold its shape(about 4 minutes). Spread into prepared pan; cool completely. Cut into squares and enjoy
Mix together potato and vanilla. Mix in powdered sugar until you have a dough like consistency so that you can roll it out flat. Roll to 1/4 inch thick. Spread with peanut butter. Roll like a jelly roll and refrigerate until chilled. Cut into pinwheels for serving.
Variations: Instead of peanut butter, you can put chocolate in the middle or cut out small circles with a cookie cutter and put a nut in the center then dip in chocolate. Substitute another flavoring instead of vanilla (ex. use lemon and add a few drops of yellow food coloring or cherry flavoring and red food coloring).
