Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (4.4 oz) Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Add the dry frosting mix, light corn syrup, vanilla extract, and boiling water to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
- Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to high speed and beat for about 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans using a spatula.
- Drop teaspoon-sized portions of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper.
- Allow the candies to sit for approximately 4 hours until the outside feels firm.
- Turn each piece over and let dry for an additional 12 hours.
- Store the finished divinity candy in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Use freshly boiling water for the best texture.
- Beat until stiff peaks form to ensure proper setting.
- Avoid making divinity on very humid days.
- Allow sufficient drying time for the candy to firm up completely.
- Store layers separated with wax paper to prevent sticking.
- Substitute almond extract for vanilla extract for a flavor variation.
- Walnuts or almonds can replace pecans if desired.
