This Recipe is a Keeper for Divinity

This Recipe is a Keeper for Divinity, so I had to post this on my blog so I had it for next December. Even though, I just made it again tonight. LOL
If you have a family, i would recommend doubling the recipe. I do already without any kids in the house. I put it in the fridge and we nibble on them for a couple days. We counted and with a double recipe we made 40 divinity. They were dropped pretty nice sized though. If you drop smaller ones you could easily get 60 I would guess. Enjoy!

Read the P.S. at the end of the Recipe for adding color to your candy.
Recipe below and Video from Youtube at the bottom.
Recipe: 
2- 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a 3 qt. saucepan, cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cover and cook over medium heat until sugar crystals are washed down from sides of pan. Uncover and cook over medium heat, without stirring, to 260 degrees on candy thermometer. Remove from heat.
Beat egg whites in large mixing bowl at high speed with electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Pour hot sugar mixture in a stream over beaten egg whites while beating constantly at high speed. Add vanilla, and continue beating just until mixture hold its shape. Stir in pecans.
Working quickly, drop by rounded teaspoon onto was paper. Cool

P.S. I put food coloring in the corn syrup mixture to the color I want before we pour it in with the egg white mixture. Even if the color is DARK when you add the food coloring, the color will be light once divinity is made. 
We put in Red now for a Valentine's Color and the divinity is Pink.
