Brown Sugar Divinity Food

DIVINE DIVINITY FUDGE

Steps:

• Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Put the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, bring to a boil and cook until the temperature reaches 260 degrees F on a candy thermometer, or the hard-ball stage, when a bit of the mixture dropped into cold water holds its shape, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour in a thin steady stream into the beaten egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on high for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla, and continue beating on high just until the candy starts to lose its gloss, 5 to 6 minutes. When the beaters are lifted, the mixture should fall in a ribbon that mounds on itself.

Steps:

• Grease an 8-inch square pan; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the sugars, water, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil, without stirring, about 15 minutes or until syrup reaches 265°F on a candy thermometer (hard-ball stage).
• Just before the sugar reaches temperature, whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (tips curl). With the mixer on medium speed, pour the hot syrup slowly down the inside of the bowl, avoiding the whisk. Continue to beat until the mixture loses its gloss, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and nuts. Press the mixture into the prepared pan; smooth the top with a greased rubber scraper or spoon. Let divinity set before cutting into pieces.

Steps:

• In a small heavy-bottomed pot dissolve the sugar in the corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil. Boil to thread stage (the candy thermometer should read between 223 to 234 degrees F). Brush down the inner wall of the pot with a heat-proof pastry brush and a small amount of water to prevent crystal formation.
• In the meantime beat egg whites with mixer and whisk attachment until they hold stiff but not dry peaks. Pour 2/3 of the boiled syrup mixture in a thin stream over the beaten egg whites, whisking all the time on high speed. Put the remaining mixture back on the heat and cook to soft ball stage (the candy thermometer should read between 234 to 240 degrees F). Whisk into the egg white mixture with the mixer on high speed. Add extract. Continue whisking until mixture forms stiff peaks.
• Pour into a buttered 9 by 13-inch pan. Let cool and cut. Store in an airtight container for chewier divinity or leave uncovered for a crispier texture.
