Hi Tracy, I found this by doing a search on the internet. Chocolate Divinity - Don't expect this to come out right the first time. Humidity, temp etc affect this candy.Ingredients : 2 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup corn syrup 1/2 cup water 1/4 tsp salt 2 egg whites 2 oz unsweetened malted chocolate 1 tsp vanillaDirections : Mix sugar, syrup,water and salt in 2 qt saucepan. Cook over med. heat, STIRRING CONSTANTLY until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat; cook without stirring until temp reaches 248F. Just before it reaches this temp, beat egg whites till stiff but not dry.
Beating CONSTANTLY with electric mixer, slowly pour 1/2 syrup over egg whites. Blend well.
Cook remaining syrup to 272F. Pour over egg whites and add chocolate, again CONTINUOUSLY beating UNTIL mixture begins to loose its gloss and a small amount will hold soft peaks when dropped from spoon. Mix in vanilla and drop by tsp onto waxed paper.Special Instructions : You need the thermometer.
If you do not have a candy thermometer : 1. 248F test by taking a quantity and dropping in water. If it comes out as a firm ball that does not flaten it is ready.
2. 272F test by taking a quantity and dropping in water. If it separates into threads which are hard but not brittle it is there.
