Best 7 No Fail Divinity Recipes

NO FAIL JELL-O DIVINITY

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 :)

MICROWAVE DIVINITY

Steps:

• Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water together in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Cook sugar mixture in the microwave until mixture is 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of sugar mixture dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball, 3 minutes.
• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
• Stir sugar mixture into egg whites until no longer glossy, about 7 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
• Drop candy by teaspoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper. Let stand until cooled, 15 minutes.

• 1. Bring sugar, water, and salt to a rolling boil. Boil for only 2 minutes.
• 2. Place marshmallow cream in a larger bowl.
• 3. Pour hot mixture over cream and beat until mixture becomes dull.
• 4. Add pecans.
• 5. Drop by teaspoon onto wax paper. Let cool. Refrigerate.

DIVINITY CANDY

Steps:

• Butter a 9x9-inch pan and line with a parchment paper sling for ease of removal. Butter the parchment paper as well; set aside.
• Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking this mixture until the syrup reaches the firm ball stage, about 250° to 265°F on a candy thermometer. (It should be firm to the touch but still able to be flattened slightly when a small ball of syrup is dropped in cold water.)
• While syrup is cooking, beat egg whites with salt until stiff.
• Gradually add half the syrup to the egg whites, beating constantly.
• Return the remaining syrup to the stove until boiling again, then gradually beat the remainder into the egg whites until dry (no longer shiny).
• Beat in the vanilla just until combined.
• Pour into prepared pan and allow to cool. Cut into squares when firm with a sharp, thin-bladed knife sprayed with cooking spray to make clean cuts.

EASY DIVINITY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• Place dry frosting mix, corn syrup, vanilla and boiling water in bowl of electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Mix on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed 5 to 7 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until stiff peaks form. On low speed, gradually beat in powdered sugar, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in nuts. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto lined cookie sheets.
• Bake 5 minutes; remove from oven. Slide parchment paper with candies from cookie sheet onto cooling rack. Let stand about 4 hours on parchment paper or until tops of candies feel firm. Remove candies from parchment paper, using small icing spatula to loosen edges if needed. Turn candies over, and place bottom sides up on cooling racks. Allow candies to dry at least 12 hours. Store in airtight container with waxed paper between layers.
