Classic Southern Divinity

"If you’ve never had divinity, then put this recipe on your list of things to make! This Classic Southern Divinity is a nougat-like confection made from egg whites, sugar and light corn syrup. It’s unique for sure. I describe divinity as a cross between meringues and marshmallows. It’s hard to the touch like meringues, but soft on the inside like marshmallows. However, unlike marshmallows, divinity is not chewy. In fact, the texture reminds me a bit of those butter mints that you used to find at restaurants in the 1980’s. Do you remember those? I can still picture the big round container that you would tip over to get a handful of soft mints. I haven’t seen those in years!"
