2 cups light brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup
2 egg whites
2 tsp. vanilla
1 square (1 oz) Hershey’sŪ baking chocolate, melted

Mix together the sugar, water and chocolate syrup in a 3 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until sugar dissolves, and mixture boils.
Then allow to cook without stirring to the hard ball stage 250°. Remove from heat. Immediately beat egg whites until stiff.
Pour hot syrup in a thin stream over beaten egg whites, beating constantly at high speed of an electric mixer.
Continue beating until peaks form when dropped from spoon, about 10 minutes.
