Divinity from Savannah’s Candy Kitchen
Lighter than air?
Perhaps not. But it’s been said more than once that these delectable treats remind folks of a soft silky breeze on a lazy Georgia afternoon. Each handmade Classic Southern Pecan Divinity consists of egg whites, pecan pieces, fine sugar and corn syrup, whipped to frothy perfection and then topped with a Mammoth Georgia pecan half (to coax them back down to earth).

Our favorite southern candy obviously has to be cooked in a southern candy kitchen. That’s no problem here, because we’re about as far south as you can get and stay in the continental US. Except for Florida, and Florida doesn’t really count as the south. 
All of the links that you find here will take you to wonderful places that will give you more ideas, offer products to help make better goodies in your own southern candy kitchen, or let you order wonderful treats and pretend you made them yourself. Enjoy!
If you choose to make your own southern divinity candy, keep a few things in mind. First, if it’s raining don’t try to make southern divinity. Next, you’ll need to cook the candy to the hard ball stage. Candy has reached the hard ball stage when it will hold its shape when dropped into a cup of cold water.
After completion, the mixture hardens quickly, so you must work rapidly to drop the mixture onto waxed paper. Add a few drops of hot water if the mixture gets too thick before you are finished. If the mixture won’t hold up, beat again for one minute. Some recipes mention using two spoons to scrape the mixture onto the paper. With a twirling motion, you can create a swirl-like effect, similar to the peak of a cone of soft serve ice cream. Store the candy in a tightly-covered container.
Some folks will pour their divinity into a pan and let it harden before cutting, but no self-respecting Southerner would take that shortcut. You’ll want to make genuinely divine southern divinity.
