Jello Divinity Candy is a delightful and fluffy treat made with egg whites, sugar, and flavored gelatin, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1 package (3 oz) Jello gelatin mix, any flavor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Attach a candy thermometer and cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 250°F (hard-ball stage).
- Meanwhile, beat the egg whites and salt in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while beating continuously at medium-high speed.
- Add the Jello gelatin powder and vanilla extract.
- Continue beating until the mixture becomes thick, fluffy, and starts to hold its shape, about 5–8 minutes.
- Fold in chopped nuts, if using.
- Quickly drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Let the candies sit at room temperature for 2–3 hours or until firm and dry to the touch.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place.
Notes
- Experiment with different flavors of Jello for a variety of tastes.
- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
