Ingredients

  • 2 ⅔ cups (533 g) granulated sugar
  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
