Dads Divinity Recipe
- 3 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup water
- 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
- Cook syrup, sugar, and water to soft ball stage (a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball).
- Pour half of this mixture over stiffly beaten egg whites. Stir.
- Cook remaining sugar mixture to brittle stage (a small amount dropped into cold water turns immediately brittle).
- Add to previous mixture and beat until candy will hold its shape. Beat again by hand to re-aerate it. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow to harden as it cools. Store in refrigerator with waxed paper between layers.
