Cherry Jell-O Divinity Candy
Sweet and soft cloud-like candy with a delicate and chewy center!
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites, room temperature
- 3 cups granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 (3 ounce) package cherry flavored Jell-O
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place egg whites in a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
- Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and allow the mixture to heat to 250 degrees (using a candy thermometer).
- While the mixture is boiling, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Beat in the cherry Jell-O and vanilla extract. Allow to sit.
- When syrup is ready, start mixing the the Jell-O mixture again on high and gradually add the syrup to the mixing bowl while mixing.
- Allow the beater to work for 5-7 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken and lose its gloss.
- Drop by teaspoons (make sure your spoons are greased) into a silicone mold or onto a pan covered with waxed paper.
- Allow to set overnight or until firm.
Notes
If you decide to use a silicone mold, spray some nonstick cooking spray on your hands and smooth over the tops of the cavities of the mold with your fingers to help shape the candy.
