Ingredients

• 4 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 3 4 cup Water
• 2 pieces Large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your workspace by laying out sheets of wax paper or parchment paper on a flat surface. This will be where you drop your divinity to harden.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir to mix the ingredients together before turning on the heat.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 4

Once the mixture begins to boil, stop stirring and attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Continue cooking until the temperature reaches 250°F (hard-ball stage). This will take about 10–15 minutes.

Step 5

While the syrup is cooking, beat the egg whites in a stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside but keep the mixer handy.

Step 6

Once the syrup reaches 250°F, remove it from the heat. With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the beaten egg whites in a thin, steady stream.

Step 7

Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating the mixture until it thickens and loses its gloss. This may take 4-6 minutes, depending on humidity levels.

Step 8

Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans or walnuts by hand, folding gently to combine.

Step 9

Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared wax paper, forming small mounds. Use a second spoon to help shape the candy as needed.

Step 10

Allow the divinity to cool and set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. Once firm, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
