Steps:
- Line 2 large baking sheets with waxed paper. Butter two large spoons and set aside.
- In a 3 quart saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
- Once at a boil, stop stirring and cook to 250F - hard ball stage. To do this, clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pot. This candy thermometer will beep when the correct temperature is reached. No fail :)
- While the mixture is coming up to temperature, whisk egg whites on high speed in a heavy duty mixer until very stiff peaks form.
- Whisk in the Jell-O until well blended.
- Once the syrup has reached 250F, remove from heat.
- Turn the mixer to medium-high and carefully and slowly pour the syrup into the egg white and Jell-O mixture. Like, so slowly, that this should take a good 2 minutes to pour it all in.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Now it's time to let the mixer go to work. Continue beating until the mixture loses it's shine and holds it's shape when dropped from a spoon. You'll notice that it starts to look more and more sticky. This takes between 4 and 6 minutes usually.
- It's absolutely okay to stop the mixer and test the mixture. If you drop the candy and it looks like a puddle on your waxed paper, continue beating for another minute or two and try again. When it holds it shape you are good to go.
- At this time, mix in the nuts.
- Spoon out a heaping teaspoon or tablespoon of the mixture out a time and use the other spoon to scrape the candy off the spoon. MAKE SURE that your spoons are buttered or the candy will stick. You do NOT need to butter them more than once.
- Once all the candies have been dropped, let cool on the waxed paper.
- Let the candies set out for at least 4 hours, preferable overnight before storing in an airtight container. These candies also do quite well sitting out in the open - no stickiness :)

NO-COOK DIVINITY
I've never tried to cook divinity, but I've heard stories about others trying and failing, so when I saw this recipe I had to post it for safe-keeping. Cooking time is the drying time overnight. Haven't tried it yet---I bought a box of old Quick Cooking magazines at a flea market and am posting the recipes I want to keep as I go through them.

Steps:
- Cook sugar, corn syrup and water (use 1 tablespoon less water on humid days) in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring, to 260°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball that holds its shape but is pliable.
- Beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Continue beating while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. (For best results, use electric stand mixer, not a portable handheld mixer since beating time is about 10 minutes and mixture is thick.) Add vanilla. Beat until mixture holds its shape and becomes slightly dull. (Mixture may become too stiff for mixer.) Gently stir in nuts.
- Drop mixture from buttered spoon onto waxed paper. Let stand at room temperature at least 12 hours, turning candies over once, until candies feel firm. Store in airtight container.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your divinity a better flavor and texture.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make your divinity tough.
- Cook the sugar mixture to the right temperature: The sugar mixture needs to reach 240 degrees Fahrenheit (115 degrees Celsius) to ensure that the divinity sets properly.
- Add the corn syrup gradually: Adding the corn syrup gradually will help to prevent the divinity from crystallizing.
- Work quickly: Divinity needs to be worked quickly once it is cooked, as it will start to set up quickly.
- Let the divinity cool completely before storing it: Divinity needs to cool completely before it is stored, otherwise it will continue to set up and become too hard.
Conclusion:
No-cook divinity is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sweet treat that everyone will love.
