Easy Divinity Candy Recipe

Step 5: Add Vanilla and Nuts

Stir in vanilla and chopped nuts (if using) until fully combined.

Step 6: Drop and Set

Quickly drop spoonfuls of the candy onto your prepared baking sheet. Work fast—the mixture sets quickly! Let them sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm and dry to the touch.

Tips for Success

• 🌤 Pick a Dry Day: Humidity is the enemy of divinity. Try to make it on a cool, dry day for the best texture.
• 🥄 Use Two Spoons: One to scoop, one to slide the candy onto the sheet.
• 🌰 Nuts Optional: Pecans are classic, but walnuts or almonds also work—or skip them entirely for a pure, fluffy treat.
• 🌈 Add Color or Flavor: A few drops of food coloring or peppermint extract make it festive for any holiday!

Storage

Store divinity candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Separate layers with wax paper to avoid sticking. Do not refrigerate—it may become sticky or harden unevenly.
