How to Make Marshmallow Divinity

  1. Line baking sheets with waxed paper or parchment paper.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
  3. Cook over medium heat, using a candy thermometer, WITHOUT stirring, until the mixture reaches 259°F (126°C) – hard-crack stage. This is crucial for the right texture.
  4. Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately stir in 1 (10 ounce) jar of marshmallow cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of chopped pecans.
  5. Continue stirring vigorously until the mixture begins to thicken and loses its glossy shine, and is cool enough to hold its shape when dropped from a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Using a teaspoon, quickly drop heaping teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Allow the divinity to cool and harden completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
