Microwave Divinity

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 0.33 cups light corn syrup , such as Karo®
• 0.5 cups water
• 2 eggs whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water together in a microwave-safe bowl.

2. 2

   Cook sugar mixture in the microwave until mixture is 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of sugar mixture dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball, 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.

4. 4

   Stir sugar mixture into egg whites until no longer glossy, about 7 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Drop candy by teaspoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper. Let stand until cooled, 15 minutes.
