Divinity Fudge Recipe

Directions:

1. Stir the first four ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Boil without stirring to 265 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a little mixture that is dropped in cold water forms a hard, almost brittle ball.
3. Remove syrup from heat and slowly pour over stiffly beaten egg whites, while beating with a mixer until mixture loses its gloss and a small amount that is dropped from a spoon holds its shape.
4. Fold in nuts and vanilla.
5. Pour into a greased 9 x9 x2 pan or drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper to cool.
6. Store in tins.
