Light as air, try Never-Fail Divinity Candy this holiday season. 1. Line 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan with lightly buttered wax paper or aluminum foil; set aside. In 3-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water and salt. Cover and bring to a boil.
Recipe: Never Fail Divinity 1 1 (7 ounce) container of marshmallow creme 2 2 cups of granulated sugar 3 1/2 cup of water 4 Pinch of salt 5 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract 6 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans 7 Whole pecan halves, for garnish, optional
Stir in the chopped pecans. Lightly grease two spoons with nonstick oil spray. Use the spoons to drop the divinity onto waxed paper. Top with the pecan halves, if desired. Let the candy set for about 2 hours before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to one week.
Of course, divinity isn't necessarily a Southern confection, but pretty much every Southerner has a recipe of their own, and a memory, centered around a tray of sweet, sugary divinity. Perfect homemade divinity is not an easy task to pull off in my opinion.
