1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup water
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp solid vegetable shortening

Here is how you make Chocolate Divinity:

1) Cook sugar, salt, corn syrup and water in a medium sauce pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar has completely dissolved.2) Let mixture boil without stirring until it reaches hard ball stage (between 250*F and 300*F on a candy thermometer depending on what sea level you're at). This will take about 10-15 minutes.3) Meanwhile, about 5 minutes into bringing the sugar mixture to hard ball stage, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Additionally, melt shortening in the microwave and mix in cocoa - set aside.4) Continue to beat the egg whites while pouring yrup in a thin stream over them. When all syrup has been added, add the vanilla extract. Continue to beat mixture until it starts to firm up and loose its gloss. At this point, quickly add the cocoa mixture and continue beating to blend.5) Quickly drop by spoonfulls onto waxed paper (wet your finger to help slide the mixture off of the spoon). Let stand, turning candy once, until firm - at least 12 hours.Store tightly covered at room temperature.Serving Size: Makes approx. 60 piecesNumber of Servings: 60Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user 13KAY13.
