Instructions
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add a candy thermometer to a medium heavy saucepan.
- Heat sugar, corn syrup and water over medium heat until it reaches hard ball stage, 250-260 degrees F.
- While the syrup is cooking, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- When the sugar reaches temperature, remove from heat and very slowly pour into the egg white, whipping on high speed constantly.
- Add vanilla and continue beating on high until candy holds it shape, about 10-15 minutes ** see notes.
- Spray a cookie dough scoop or 2 spoons with cooking spray, then drop scoops of candy onto prepared baking sheets.
- Immediately add whole pecan or other garnish, if using.
- Allow divinity to dry and harden for several hours or overnight.
- Store in airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- The time will depend on your mixer. I found it best to beat on high speed for 5 minutes and then let the mixture and mixer rest for 2-3 minutes. Then repeat several times
