Ingredients:

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 large egg whites, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts, for mixing or garnish

Instructions:

1 Prepare Your Workspace:
◦ Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
2 Cook the Syrup:
◦ In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water.
◦ Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring.
◦ Cook until the mixture reaches 250°F (hard ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
3 Whip the Egg Whites:
◦ While the syrup cooks, beat the egg whites in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
4 Combine and Beat:
◦ With the mixer on medium speed, slowly pour the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites in a thin, steady stream.
◦ Add the vanilla extract and increase to high speed. Beat until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and holds its shape.
5 Shape the Divinity:
◦ Quickly drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, press a pecan or walnut into the top of each candy for garnish.
6 Set the Candy:
◦ Let the candies sit at room temperature until fully set, about 2 hours.
