- 2 ⅔ cups (533 g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (227 g) light corn syrup
- ½ cup (118 g) water
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (105 g) pecans, finely chopped
Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
To a saucepan over medium heat, add sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer reaches 260°F (about 25 minutes).
When the sugar mixture is close to 260°F, add egg whites to bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
With the mixer still on high speed, slowly pour the heated sugar mixture into the bowl of beaten egg whites. Beat until the mixture holds its shape (6-8 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Fold in the vanilla and finely chopped pecans. Spray 2 spoons with nonstick cooking spray. Use one spoon to push the candy off the other spoon onto the lined baking sheet.
Let the divinity set for about an hour before serving.
