Cinnamon Divinity

Cinnamon Divinity is the best!  I don't really care for divinity but add cinnamon oil to it and that's another story.  This is a basic Betty Crocker recipe with cinnamon oil instead of vanilla.

 

Recipe:

2 2/3 C sugar

2/3 C corn syrup

½ C water

2 egg whites

¼ tsp cinnamon oil

Cook sugar, corn syrup and water (use 1 Tbs less water on humid days) in saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring to 260ºF or hard ball stage. Beat egg white in medium bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. Continue beating while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on high speed. Add cinnamon oil. Beat until mixture holds its shape and becomes slightly dull. Drop from buttered teaspoon onto wax or parchment paper. Let stand at room temperature for a few hours. Makes approximately 54 candies.
