Steps:
- In a heavy, 2 quart saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt. Cook and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Then cook to hard ball stage without stirring, 250 degrees F (120 degrees C.) Frequently wipe crystals forming on the sides of the pan, using a pastry brush dipped in water. Remove from heat.
- Just as the syrup is reaching temperature, begin whipping egg whites: In a large glass or stainless steel mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup in a thin stream over beaten egg whites, beating constantly with the electric mixer at medium speed. Increase speed to high, and continue beating for about 5 minutes. Add vanilla; continue beating until the mixture becomes stiff and begins to lose its gloss. If it is too stiff, add a few drops hot water.
- Immediately drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. For a decorative flair, twirl the top with the spoon when dropping. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

DIVINITY, OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS CANDY
You MUST have a heavy duty stand mixer to make this. It is my absolute all time favorite Christmas candy. Please make sure your walnuts are very fresh. This is a delicate candy and any off taste in the nuts will ruin it. 3 c. sugar 1/2 c. light corn syrup 2/3 c. water 2 egg whites 1/8 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. chopped nuts Bring sugar, corn syrup, salt and water to a boil. Cook to hard ball stage, (250-265 F) wiping any crystals from side of pan from time to time. While syrup is boiling, beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Very slowly pour a thin stream of syrup into the stiff egg whites keeping mixer at med high speed for as long as possible, reducing speed to med as mixture thickens. Add Vanilla Continue beating until mixture is very thick and loses its gloss. Stir in nuts with spoon. Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Allow to cool completely at room temperature. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week. Can be refrigerated. I have never tried to freeze Divinity, it has never lasted long enough.

HOLIDAY DIVINITY
Take one bite of this Southern classic, and you'll see why its name supposedly originated from the word 'divine'! Divinity candy is nougat-like confection that typically has mix-ins like dried fruit and nuts. For a festive holiday version, candied cherries, candied citron, and pecans were chosen to be folded into the light clouds of meringue. Note that the nougat mixture will need at least 8 hours to dry until it is sliceable, so plan accordingly.

Steps:
- Spray a 9 1/2‐by‐12 1/2‐inch rimmed baking sheet (also called quarter‐sheet pan) with cooking spray. Line with parchment; spray parchment.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring, just until sugar has dissolved, then cook until syrup reaches 250°F (firm ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. If peaks form before syrup reaches 250°F, reduce speed and keep mixer running on low.
- Reduce speed to medium and add syrup in a slow, steady stream (taking care not to hit whisk or side of bowl). Add vanilla. Increase speed to high and continue to beat until mixture is very thick and begins to lose its gloss, 10 to 20 minutes. Fold in pecans and candied fruit. Scrape mixture into prepared pan, using hands sprayed with cooking spray to press in evenly.
- Let stand until fully set and dry on top, at least 8 hours. Transfer to a cutting board; cut into 3/4‐by‐3‐inch pieces. Store in a single layer on parchment‐lined baking sheets, wrapped in plastic, at room temperature up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Replace the whisk attachment for the paddle attachment and set aside.
- In a medium, heavy bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Place a candy thermometer onto the side of the pot and allow to boil without stirring until the mixture reaches 260°F (hard ball stage). This will take 10-15 minutes. The mixture will still be light in color.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and turn the mixer back onto high speed. Slowly pour in the hot candy mixture in a steady stream until all is added. Add in the vanilla. Allow this to mix on high for 6-8 minutes, until the mixture is thick and just loses its glossiness and holds its shape. If the mixture doesn't hold its shape when you pull the paddle attachment out, continue mixing until it does. You can also test this by scooping out a spoonful of the candy and placing it on the parchment paper. If it holds into a ball, it's ready.
- Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, hand-stir the chopped pecans into the mixture.
- Drop by heaping tablespoonful onto the lined baking sheet. You can spray your spoon or scoop with nonstick spray to help the mixture come off the spoon easier. Alternatively, you can line an 8×8 pan with parchment, coat it with nonstick spray and spread into the pan using an offset spatula.
- Allow the candy to set up completely before cutting and/or serving.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water and bring to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve sugar (Avoid splashing mixture onto side of the pan).
- Boil for 3 minutes.
- If using a candy thermometer, carefully clip to side of pan, making sure the bulb is immersed but not touching the bottom of the pan.
- Cook over moderate heat, without stirring, to 260° on candy thermometer, hard-ball stage (15 to 18 minutes), or, use this cold water test - using a spoon, drop a small amount of hot mixture into very cold, not icy, water them dip your fingers into the water and form the mixture into a ball. Remove the ball from the water; it should not flatten but can be deformed by pressure.
- Remove pan from heat; remove the thermometer from saucepan.
- In a large bowl, with very clean beaters and an electric mixer on medium to high, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly pour hot syrup mixture in a fine stream over egg whites, beating with electric mixer on high for 3 minutes and scraping the side of the bowl occasionally.
- Add the vanilla.
- Continue beating with the electric mixer on high just until candy starts to lose its gloss and holds soft peaks (5 to 6 minutes), scraping the side of the bowl occasionally. Stir in cherries and nuts.
- Working quickly, drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.
- If the divinity becomes too stiff, beat in very hot water, a few drops at a time, until it is a softer consistency.
- Cool completely. To store, cover tightly.
- TIPS:.
- Choose a dry day. Because sugar absorbs moisture from the air, divinity may never set up if you try to make it on a humid day.
- Start with room temperature egg whites. They heat up to a greater volume than cold egg whites.
- Use a heavy-duty, freestanding electric mixer. Beating divinity puts a strain on a mixer's motor. Portable mixers and lightweight, freestanding mixers may not have heavy enough motors.
- Follow the recipe directions carefully. Timing is important. Adding the hot syrup too quickly or not beating the candy mixture long enough can cause divinity to fail. Overbeating the divinity will cause it to set up before you can drop it into individual pieces.

- In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whip attachment, combine the frosting mix (dry mix), the corn syrup, and the boiling water. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. With the mixer still running on medium, slowly add in confectioners’ sugar a little at a time; mix until just combined. Don’t over mix or you’ll deflate the batter. Add the vanilla and mix briefly. The finished mixture should be billowy and light, and a little bit stretchy like classic divinity.
- Piped: Transfer the candy to a piping big fitted with an open star decorator tip. Pipe the mixture in swirls about the size of a large gumball onto the prepared pans. Immediately cover with sprinkles, if using.
