Photo: Divine Divinity Fudge Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pecans
Directions
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.
**TIP: If the mixture flattens out, beat again for 1 minute more. If the mixture is too thick to drop, beat in a few drops of hot water until the candy is a softer consistency. Add the pecans, stir to mix, and quickly drop the mixture by tablespoons onto the prepared sheet. Place the candies on a serving candy dish and pass. **(If the candy is poured into a pan and cut into squares, you should have about 48 pieces.)

This recipe is spot on, I even added chopped pecans and prepared some chopped candied cherries dusted in confectioners sugar(*so the candied cherries don't clump when stirrd in in advance so when the crucial moment arrived it all stirred in without a hitch... so fluffy.. so light.. melt in your mouth divine.

This recipe is easy and quick, with good tasking Divinity. BUT, I had to add 5 more minutes to the beating time to adjust for humidity. I remembered advice from my Mom that the cook really has to pay attention to how the mixture looks and feels before dropping it, or it will turn out like goop. Don't depend entirely on the time mentioned in the recipe because Divinity can be affected by the humidity in your area. That's what happened because the first two that I dropped were sticky goop. So I continued beating it and raising my mixer to look at how it was thickening on the beaters (I have a KitchenAid mixer. I finally got in the groove when I saw it thicken and lose its stickiness on the beaters. My actual beating time (after adding the Vanilla was double what it is in the recipe....a full 11 minutes. They all came out perfect. I made these with Pecans but prefer Walnuts to offset the ultra sweet taste.
