For the serious sweet tooth in us. Do not make on a rainy or humid day, they don't do as well. If you wish, chopped nuts can be added when syrup and eggs whites are blended

How To Make divinty candy (seafoam) by sallye

  • Step 1
    Place sugar, syrup, water and salt in heavy saucepan (I use my large cast iron skillet) Stir until sugar dissolves, then quit stirring Cook at medium heat until mixture reaches 265-270 degrees on candy thermometer Do not stir but you can wipe the sides down back into the mixture
  • Step 2
    Meantime, while syrup mixture is cooking Beat egg white in chilled bowl until stiff and set aside
  • Step 3
    When syrup is ready, pour into beaten egg whites, stirring vigorously all the while with a clean wooden spoon Add vanilla and nuts while stirring Beat until mixture just begins to harden
  • Step 4
    Drop by tablespoons onto parchment paper Store in airtight container with parchment paper between layers.
