Delicious Honey Divinity With Chopped Pecans

The holidays just wouldn't be the same at my house without a batch of homemade divinity. This sweet treat is decadent, light as air, and absolutely delicious!

If you encounter challenges while preparing my divinity recipe, please refer to the end notes for troubleshooting tips. The technique I am sharing is effective for all divinity recipes that do not yield the desired results.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of granulated Splenda or granulated white sugar

• 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) of premium honey

• 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) of water

• 2 egg whites, beaten to soft peaks

• 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans, chopped Maraschino cherries, or chocolate chips

Instructions:

Here's a fun and easy recipe for making delicious divinity candy!

First, grab a heavy-bottomed pan and mix together granulated Splenda or sugar, honey, and water. Boil the mixture until it reaches a hard ball stage. To test if it's ready, drop a small amount of the syrup into cold water; it should harden and keep its shape.

While the syrup is cooking, beat 2 egg whites in a glass bowl until they form soft peaks. If you don't have a mixer, you can use a wooden spoon. It'll just take a bit longer, but that's how they used to make candy back in the day!

Pour the hot syrup over the beaten egg whites, and beat the mixture for 20 to 25 minutes until the divinity loses its glossiness. Stir in some chopped pecans, Maraschino cherries, or chocolate chips.

Drop spoonfuls of the divinity onto wax paper and let it harden. Once it's set, transfer it to an airtight container for storage.

If your divinity doesn't turn out quite right, don't worry! Just pop it in the microwave until it starts to swell, then mix in half a cup to 1 cup of powdered sugar and freeze it for about 10 minutes. Scoop spoonfuls of the divinity out on waxed paper and let it harden. This trick should fix any failed divinity recipe.

Enjoy! Happy Holidays!🌲⛄☃️❄️🌲☃️⛄❄️
