Dad'S Divinity

Directions

1. 1
   Cook syrup, sugar, and water to soft ball stage (a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball).
2. 2
   Pour half of this mixture over stiffly beaten egg whites. Stir.
3. 3
   Cook remaining sugar mixture to brittle stage (a small amount dropped into cold water turns immediately brittle).
4. 4
   Add to previous mixture and beat until candy will hold its shape. Beat again by hand to re-aerate it. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow to harden as it cools. Store in refrigerator with waxed paper between layers.
