Cost: $2.40 total, $0.20 per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Light Corn Syrup (measure in a liquid measuring cup)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (white granulated)
  • 3 large Egg Whites (room temperature, separated from yolks)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla)
  • 1/2 cup Pecans, toasted and chopped (optional, adds crunch and flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare work area

    Line a baking sheet with waxed parchment paper and have all ingredients measured and ready.

    Time: PT2M

  2. Heat syrup and sugar

    Combine corn syrup and granulated sugar in the saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, then attach the candy thermometer and bring to a gentle boil.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 235°F

  3. Whip egg whites

    While the syrup is heating, place egg whites in the mixing bowl and beat with the electric mixer on high speed until stiff glossy peaks form.

    Time: PT3M

  4. Combine hot syrup with egg whites

    When the syrup reaches the soft‑ball stage (235°F), remove the pan from heat. With the mixer running on low, slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites, allowing it to stream down the side of the bowl.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Add flavorings and nuts

    Add vanilla extract and the chopped toasted pecans, folding gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT1M

  6. Form the divinity

    Using a tablespoon or small ice‑cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment. The drops will spread slightly into irregular peaks.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Cool and set

    Allow the candies to sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes until they harden completely. Then transfer the sheet to a sealed container.

    Time: PT2M

Critical Success Points

  • Heat syrup to the exact soft‑ball stage (235°F).
  • Whip egg whites to stiff peaks before adding syrup.
  • Drizzle hot syrup slowly while mixing to avoid deflating the meringue.

Safety Warnings

  • The hot syrup can cause severe burns – handle with oven mitts and keep children away from the stove.
  • Do not overheat the syrup; it can scorch and become bitter.
