Light and airy, sweet meringue-like candy. Simply divine!

Divinity

2 2/3 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Walnut halves
  1. Combine sugar, syrup, water and salt in a 3-quart saucepan. Cover pan and bring to a boil. Remove cover and cook, stirring occasionally, to hard ball stage (260°F - 130°C), or until a small amount of mixture is dropped into cold water and forms a ball that holds its shape but is pliable.
  2. Meanwhile, beat egg whites in large mixing bowl until stiff. Gradually pour in hot syrup in small stream while continuing to beat. Add vanilla and continue beating until mixture will hold its shape when dropped from spoon.
  3. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and top with a walnut half.

Makes about 4 dozen candies.

Variation: Mix in 1 cup (6-ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts just before spooning onto waxed paper. Omit walnut halves.
