OH, YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that seafoam candy-love it!

ooo i love seafoam candy also....

this is actually divinity... mmmmmm

What are they ? They look like meringues.

they are very similar to the candy meringues.. but the texture is closer to a fudge.... altho... if left out to completely dry... they will turn into meringues lol

also if u dont cook long enough.. u end up with marshmellows...

isnt sugar science fun?

i have received a couple requests for the recipe... i entered it into this months recipe contest on the cutting board discussion board... but here it is again

a MUST at christmastime!!!!

old-fashioned DIVINITY

3 egg WHITES
3 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup
3/4 c. water
pinch of salt
2 t. vanilla
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

line cookie sheets with wax or parchment paper

1) in glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites til STIFF peaks, set aside.

2)‌ in large saucepan stir together sugar, corn syrup, water and salt.

3) over medium high heat...bring sugar mixture to a full boil stirring constantly.

4) once boiling... stop stirring and heat the sugar to the HARDBALL stage (about 250-260 degrees on a candy thermometer or til a drop of the sugar in a glass of ice water holds its shape)

5) gradually add the sugar mixture to the egg whites, continually beating

6) add in the vanilla and beat... beat... beat... til the candy loses its gloss and thickens to hold its shape

7) fold in the chopped walnuts

8) quickly drop by teaspoon onto the parchment paper and allow to cool

note: you can also drop into miniature cupcake liners if desired (there are many very pretty holiday patterns that are wonderful for display or gifts)
note: you can replace part or all of the nuts with DRIED candied fruits for a more festive divinity

storage tip: divinity is similar to fudge... when stored in a sealed container... it should stay fresh for up to 2 weeks at room temperature

Thank you, Pegasis!!! Love it!!!
