Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2⅔ cups (533 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup (227 g) corn syrup
  • ½ cup (118 g) water
  • 2 large egg whites, (room temperature)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (105 g) pecans, (finely chopped)

Instruction

  • Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat over low heat until a candy thermometer reaches 260°F.
  • When the sugar mixture is close to 260°F, beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer on high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Slowly pour the heated sugar mixture into the bowl of beaten egg whites. Set the mixer on high speed and beat until the mixture holds its shape (15-20 minutes).
  • Fold in the vanilla and finely chopped pecans. Spray 2 spoons with nonstick cooking spray. Use one spoon to push the candy off the other spoon onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Let the divinity set for about an hour before serving.
