Using two spoons, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Alternatively, you can use a piping bag for a more uniform shape.
Let set: Allow the candies to cool and harden at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.
Description
This easy divinity candy is a heavenly confection with a light, airy texture and delicate sweetness. The addition of nuts adds a pleasant crunch, making each bite irresistible.
Tips for Success
Check the weather: Avoid making divinity on a humid day, as moisture can prevent the candy from setting properly.
Monitor the temperature: Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct stage.
Work quickly: Divinity sets rapidly, so shape the candies promptly after mixing.
Use fresh eggs: Fresh egg whites whip up more reliably, giving your divinity the ideal fluffy texture.
Optional Additions
Flavor extracts: Swap vanilla with almond or peppermint extract for a unique twist.
Coloring: Add a few drops of food coloring to match holiday or party themes.
