Double Divinity

By Spookie

Making two syrups at different stages of density is the secret to this divinity recipe, then beating the two syrups into the beaten egg whites until it is the perfect consistency.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 2 egg whites, slightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Dash of salt

Preparation

Step 1

Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup of water. Cook at 240°F until syrup is a soft ball.

Cook remaining sugar and water with corn syrup at 254°F or until second syrup is a hard ball.

Cool first syrup slightly. Add syrup slowly to egg whites, beating constantly, about 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture loses its gloss.

Add the second syrup slowly to the above mixture, beating constantly, about 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture loses its gloss. Add vanilla and salt and mix.

Using a tablespoon, spoon mixture onto a greased cookie sheet. Allow to set and serve.
