Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine dry frosting mix, corn syrup, vanilla, and boiling water in a small mixing bowl.
- Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a large bowl; gradually blend in confectioners sugar on low speed or by hand.
- Stir in chopped nuts.
- Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.
- Allow outside of candy to feel firm, then turn over and dry at least 12 hours.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure that the boiling water is poured in gradually while mixing. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can substitute the chopped nuts with mini chocolate chips or dried fruit. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a dash of almond extract along with the vanilla. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover frosting mix from other American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These delightful divinity pieces make an excellent treat for holiday gatherings or as a sweet snack any time. Serve alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. They also pair wonderfully with a light dessert such as fruit salad or can be enjoyed as a sweet finish after a hearty meal like Texas Chili Beef Slices(Makes 6 To 8 Servings).
Storage & Reheating
Store the divinity in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you live in a humid area, consider refrigerating them to prevent stickiness. When ready to enjoy, simply take them out and allow them to come to room temperature for the best texture. Avoid freezing as it may alter the consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of frosting mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of frosting mix, such as chocolate or cream cheese, for a unique twist on the traditional divinity. Just be aware that this may alter the final taste and color of the candies. Make sure to adjust the liquid ingredients accordingly if the mix has different moisture levels.
What can I do if my divinity doesn't set properly?
If your divinity mixture doesn’t set, it may need more beating to achieve the right consistency. Try beating it longer to see if it thickens. If it's still too soft, you can fold in a bit more confectioners' sugar to help it stiffen up before dropping onto wax paper.
Can I add flavors or colors to my divinity?
Absolutely! You can incorporate food coloring to match your occasion or add flavor extracts like almond or mint to enhance the taste. Just be cautious with the quantity as a little goes a long way. Adding a few drops of flavoring after the nuts will keep the texture consistent.
