A light, fluffy, and fruity Southern-style candy, this Jello Divinity Recipe blends classic sugar-candy techniques with vibrant Jello flavors to create a pastel-colored treat perfect for holidays and gift-giving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 3 ounces flavored Jello (e.g., strawberry, lemon, grape)
  • ½ cup pecans, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and cook the mixture without stirring until it reaches 260°F (hard ball stage).
  3. While the syrup cooks, beat the egg whites in a stand mixer until foamy.
  4. Reduce speed and add Jello powder, then increase speed to high and beat until fluffy.
  5. Once the syrup is at temperature, remove from heat and carefully drizzle it into the egg white mixture while beating on high speed.
  6. Continue beating for 4–5 minutes until the mixture loses its shine and holds its shape.
  7. Fold in the chopped pecans (if using).
  8. Quickly drop spoonfuls onto wax paper using two teaspoons.
  9. Let the candy sit for 2–4 hours or until fully set.

Notes

  • Choose a dry, low-humidity day to make divinity for best results.
  • Use a candy thermometer or cold water test to ensure proper syrup temperature.
  • Customize with different Jello flavors or colors for seasonal themes.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container layered with wax paper.
  • Freezes well when wrapped individually.
