    Title: Divine Divinity
    Categories: Candy
    Yield: 30 Pieces

    4 c Sugar
    1 c Light corn syrup
    3/4 c Water
    3 Egg whites; stiffly beaten
    1 ts Vanilla
    1 c Walnuts; chopped

    Combine sugar, syrup, and water. Place in a saucepan and cook over
    low heat until sugar is dissolved, without stirring, to 255°F or
    until a small amount dropped into cold water forms a hard ball.
    Remove from heat; pour, beating constantly, in a fine stream into
    stiffly beaten egg whites. Continue beating until mixture holds shape
    and loses its gloss. Add vanilla and nuts. Drop quickly from tip of
    spoon onto waxed paper in individual pieces.

    Tammy M.:

    This is the very best recipe for divinity that I know of (course,
    everyone will tell you that, but in my case, it's true ;-) ). It
    comes from a woman who lived next to my grandmother years ago. Her
    name was Madeleine, and she was a lovely woman, somewhat formal and
    devoutly religious. Every year, she would gift us with a box of this
    candy. Combat was waged amongst various family members over these
    confections! The recipe is written in my grandmother's hand, and is
    aptly named "Divine Divinity" as Madeleine's surname really and truly
    was Divine.
