Easy Divinity
Is it marshmallow? Is it fudge? Actually, divinity is a candy that has the texture of a marshmallow, although there are no marshmallows used in the recipe. It’s also similar to fudge, but still so different. (Is that clear enough?) If you have never tried divinity, this is an easy recipe to give it a try and a taste!
For this recipe you will need just a handful of simple ingredients. Corn Syrup: Corn syrup is an important ingredient in candy recipes, including this one. It is processed from cornstarch and gives the candy a smooth, glossy texture. It also keeps it from being grainy. Pecans: Finely chop the pecans before adding them to the candy. If you prefer, you could add walnuts instead. Candy Thermometer: Yes, I know this is not an ingredient, but it is just as important when it comes to this recipe. A candy thermometer, also known as a deep-fry thermometer or sugar thermometer, is used to measure the temperature of a sugar solution. It is definitely an important tool to have when making candy.
Easy Divinity is a marshmallowy textured homemade candy filled with pecans and made with just a few ingredients, that will definitely become a new family favorite.
