Let's Make Divinity Candy! Candy Making from scratch Simple divinity candy recipe
You need to make a DEVINE treat? Let's make divinity candy!
If you're like me, you have a friend who requested you make divinity candy over the holidays. Then you had to learn it. Then realized there weren't a lot of good YouTube tutorials on how to make it correctly and SAFELY. So here we are...
This recipe requires mixing 260 degree BOILING molten sugar on high; please be cautious if you attempt it.
As always, here is my recipe:
Used in this video:
baking sheet
silicone mat
electric mixer
sauce pan
spatula
2 spoons
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/8 tsp salt
2 room temperature egg whites (separate out ahead of time)
1 cup chopped nuts (typically pecans, use what you like)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Let's get into it:
1. line a cookie sheet with silicone and set it aside
2. in a large saucepan on MEDIUM HEAT (don't rush this, you don't want to burn your sugar and have to start over)
3. cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to boil
4. once mixture starts to boil, clip on your candy thermometer and stop stirring. We need the temp to reach 260 degrees F, and it should take about 8-10 minutes.
5. while the sugar mixture is boiling, beat your egg whites until you get stiff peaks! This is basically a very intense meringue dessert, so you need to get your eggs exactly right!
6. once your sugar mix reaches 260 desgrees, pour it as slowly as possible into your egg whites while your mixer is on HIGH SPEED (or as high as you trust yourself to mix it in safely. if you turn it down, turn it right back to max as soon as you're done pouring)
7. beat on high speed for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until candy loses gloss and starts to hold its shape.
8. mix in your vanilla and nuts - work quickly!
9. scoop onto cookie sheet using 2 spoons - that way you can scoop with one and scrape the sticky divinity off of the scooper spoon
10. let set. Once hardened, you're all done. Your divinity is ready to serve at a party, eat right away, or package up and give to friends.

Old Fashioned Divinity
This time of year I always go back to my family recipes. Today I did just that and am sharing my great Grandma Blanche's Christmas Divinity recipe. This candy became a family favorite and tradition. It has been passed down 4 generations now. I treasure these old recipes and they will always hold a special place in my heart. Let me know what you think about this version and y'all enjoy.

How To Make Easy Divinity
2 ½ Cups of Granulated Sugar
½ Cup of Light Corn Syrup
½ Cup of Water
Pinch of Salt
2 Egg Whites (Room Temperature)
1/8 Tsp. of Powdered Egg Whites (this is optional)
1 Tsp of Vanilla
1 Cup of Toasted Pecans (chopped)
Step 1 – In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Do not stir again after this point. Bring to a boil. Cook the syrup mixture until candy thermometer reaches 260 degrees F, bringing it to the hard ball stage.
Step 2 – While the syrup is cooking, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Once the sugar mixture reaches 260 F, remove thermometer and carefully pour the syrup into the egg whites in a slow steady stream, beating constantly at high speed. After two to three minutes of mixing, add vanilla. Continue to mix at high speed until candy holds its shape. This process can take anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes. Add pecans. If the candy becomes too stiff, just add a few drops of hot water.
Step 3 – Using two spoons, drop the divinity onto parchment paper, using one spoon to push the candy off the other. Try to twirl the pushing spoon to make the candy look like the top of soft serve ice cream. Dip your spoons into hot water from time to time to help the candy slide off the spoon and stay soft.
Allow candy to cool for at least two hours. Store in an airtight container

DIVINITY CANDY
In a 2 quart aluminum pan add 2 cups of sugar. Stir in 1/2 cup light corn syrup , 1/2 cup water and a dash of salt. Stir till dissolved and bring to a boil. Boil to medium-ball stage (240 degrees). Slowly pour 1/3 of the syrup over 2 stiff beaten egg whites, beating constantly.
Cook remaining syrup to very hard-ball stage (265 degrees). Test: Add several drops to water. Mixture will form a firm ribbon that bends when lifted from water. Beat syrup in candy mixture; continue beating.
When mixture holds its shape when dropped from a spoon, beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Drop from teaspoon onto parchment paper or a greased cookie sheet. Swirl each piece to a peak. Let cool for 1 hour. Store loosely covered. Don’t use a tight fitting lid.
Double cooking takes longer, but it’s a failure proof way to make fluffy Divinity!
