1/2 c water
1 jar(s) marshmallow cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c chopped nuts (if desired)

Steps:

  • 1. Boil sugar and water until 250 degrees or when it forms a hard ball when you drop a few drops in a cup cold water. (It helps to have a candy themometer).
  • 2. Place marshmallow cream in large mixing bowl. When the sugar water is ready, pour in a slow, thin stream the hot syrup while the mixer is on slow speed. After all syrup is in the cream, add vanilla and if desired, nuts, and put mixer on medium and beat until the cream forms a stiff peak.

I have tried every Christmas to make divinity, but it never would turn out. I thought that maybe I would try one more time. My friend gave me this recipe, and told me that it was really easy! So, I tried it tonight and it TURNED OUT (: I am so proud of myself. I hope that you all can make it and enjoy it as well.
