Delicious Microwave Divinity Candy

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir the mixture until fully combined.
  2. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for about 5 minutes, checking after 3.5 minutes to avoid boiling over. Use a candy thermometer – you want the mixture to reach 250°F (hard ball stage).
  3. While the sugar mixture is bubbling away, beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form.
  4. Once the sugar mixture reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the microwave. With the mixer still running, gradually pour the hot syrup into the beaten egg whites. Be cautious not to splash!
  5. Continue beating the mixture until it forms stiff peaks, and looks glossy and thick. This may take around 5-7 minutes.
  6. Finally, gently fold in the vanilla extract and the chopped nuts if using.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper and let them cool completely until set, about 1-2 hours.

And voilà! You have created your very own Microwave Divinity Candy that is sure to impress anyone who has the pleasure of tasting it. Enjoy this delightful treat as a gift or festive indulgence, and feel free to customize it with different nuts or flavors to make it your own!
