Easy Homemade Divinity Candy Recipe

Ingredients

• 2.67 cups white sugar
• 0.67 cup light corn syrup
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.67 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Prepare all of the necessary ingredients.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium-low heat. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture begins to boil. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 250°F (120°C) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of syrup forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water.
3. In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4. While continuing to beat the egg whites, slowly pour the hot syrup into the bowl in a thin, steady stream.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in chopped walnuts, if desired. Continue beating until the mixture thickens, holds its shape, and starts to lose its glossy appearance.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper. Allow the candy to set at room temperature, turning once, until the outside is firm, for at least 12 hours. Store in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
