Return to December Recipe Index
Hello Nancy, In the Jan. 13th news letter Ann S. Was asking
for a Divinity candy with peanut butter and I have a recipe.
My mother used to make this while I was growing up but never
gave the recipe to me. I found this one and for some reason
did not write down where or when I got it. If this belongs
to someone out there I would like to thank you! Anyway, here
it is:
Peanut Butter Divinity
2 1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c light corn syrup
1/2 c water
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla
Confectioners sugar, sifted
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
In buttered 2 quart saucepan, mix sugar, corn syrup and
water. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture boils.
Continue cooking without stirring to hard ball stage or till
candy thermometer registers 260 degrees. Meanwhile, beat egg
whites with electric mixer till stiff but not dry. Gradually
pour hot syrup over egg whites, beating constantly at high
speed of mixer. Add vanilla, beat until candy holds it's
shape, 4-5 minutes. On towel dusted generously with
confectioners sugar, quickly pat candy to 10" x 4"
rectangle. Spread peanut butter over candy to within 1/2" of
one of the long sides. Roll up from opposite side, using the
towel to help roll. Wrap in towel, chill until firm, about 1
hour. Cut in half crosswise, wrap in waxed paper.
Refrigerate. To serve cut slices slightly more than 1/2 inch
thick. 48 pieces
