Chocolate Swirl Divinity
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 egg whites
2 cups real semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons vanilla
Combine sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved (5 to 8 minutes). Continue cooking, without stirring, until candy thermometer reaches 260 degrees or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a hard ball (30 to 60 minutes).
Meanwhile, beat egg whites in large mixer bowl at high speed until stiff peaks form (2 to 3 minutes). Reduce speed to medium. Continue beating while slowly pouring a thin stream of hot syrup into egg whites. Beat at high speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture loses gloss and starts to hold shape (4 to 6 minutes).
Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla by hand just until chocolate melts and forms swirls. Quickly drop by tablespoonfuls onto buttered baking sheets. Cool completely. Makes 3 dozen candies
Note: Divinity should be made with a stand mixer. A hand held mixer does not have the power to beat the syrup to a stiff consistency.
