How to Make Divinity Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 234°F (112°C) – the soft-ball stage.
  3. While the syrup is cooking, beat 3 large egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Slowly pour approximately half of the hot syrup into the beaten egg whites, beating constantly on low speed. Pour slowly to prevent scrambling the eggs.
  5. Continue cooking the remaining syrup until it reaches 280°F (138°C) – the hard-crack stage.
  6. Gradually pour the remaining hot syrup into the egg white mixture, beating constantly on low speed then increase to medium-high speed.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  8. Continue beating until the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape when a spoonful is lifted – about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  10. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  11. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature (at least 2-3 hours) before cutting into squares.
