• vanilla - 1 tsp
• chopped nuts - 1/2 c
• water - 3/4 c

How to make no fail divinity:

Mix sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in a 2-quart casserole. Cook in microwave oven 19 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Candy thermometer should read 260°. If not, cook 1 or 2 minutes longer. While syrup cooks, beat egg whites very stiff in a large bowl. Gradually pour hot syrup over egg whites and continue beating at a high speed until thick and candy start to lose its gloss. Beating may require about 12 minutes. Add vanilla and nuts to beaten mixture. Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper.

Extra Tip: Candy may be tinted with food coloring for special occasions. Makes 7 dozen pieces of dreamy divinity.
