Easy Divinity Candy is a fluffy, cloud‑like classic made from whipped egg whites and hot sugar syrup, then scooped into sweet, melt‑in‑your‑mouth bites. It’s an old‑fashioned holiday favorite that looks impressive on candy trays but uses just a handful of pantry ingredients.
Why you’ll love this recipe
This recipe keeps things as simple as divinity gets: a straightforward sugar syrup cooked to soft‑ball stage, two whipped egg whites, and a quick beat until thick and glossy. You get that nostalgic, marshmallow‑meets‑nougat texture without complicated techniques, and you can stir in pecans, walnuts, or almonds for extra crunch.
Divinity also keeps well, making it perfect for gifting. Once set, it stores for about 1–2 weeks in an airtight container at cool room temperature, so you can make it ahead for parties, cookie exchanges, and holiday tins.
