Divinity is a candy made from a sugar syrup and egg whites, resulting in a fluffy, creamy confection. Common additions include nuts, dried fruit, chocolate, and flavoring extracts. Divinity can be dropped by the spoonful, or can be spread in a pan and cut into squares once it has hardened. A word of warning--divinity gets its light, airy texture from beaten egg whites. If you are making divinity in a very hot or humid environment, you might encounter problems getting maximum volume from your whites, and as a result, the texture and taste of your divinity might be affected.
