Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir well and heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches 260°F (hard ball stage) on a candy thermometer. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
2. While the sugar mixture is cooking, beat the egg whites in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
3. Once the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature, slowly pour it into the beaten egg whites while continuously beating on high speed. Be careful as the sugar mixture is extremely hot.
4. Continue beating the mixture on high speed for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes thick and glossy. You should be able to form peaks that hold their shape.
5. Add the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using) to the mixture and gently fold them in until well combined.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the creamy divinity mixture onto wax paper or a silicone baking mat. Let them cool and set at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours or until firm to the touch.
7. Once the divinity is completely set, transfer it to an airtight container, separating the layers with wax paper to prevent sticking.
8. Store the creamy divinity at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
