This recipe divinity candy is easy to make with simple ingredients. It’s a really fun recipe to make and not hard at all. This treat is perfect for the holidays but great year round. The pecan on top makes it even better but if you have kiddos that don’t like nuts, just leave it off.
Old fashioned divinity is a vintage recipe for a meringue-based candy that I would describe as somewhere between fudge (even though there is no chocolate in most divinity, it is often even referred to as Divinity Fudge), nougat, and marshmallow. It's a billowy light, super-sweet, airy candy confection and it tastes...well, divine. Hence the name.
Let the divinity cool completely and then cut into squares. Basically this is Divinity Fudge. Replace the vanilla extract with cherry extract and the walnuts with 1/2 cup chopped candied cherries for Cherry Divinity.
Not only does it taste incredible, but the bright snow white color makes it the perfect addition to any Christmas goodie plate. Divinity is a nougat like candy and the best way to describe it is as a marshmallow taffy. My grandma made divinity every year at Christmas (along with cream cheese mints, homemade caramels and saltine cracker toffee ).
