Peanut Butter Divinity

What you will need:

2 cups of sugar

1/2 cup of white syrup

1/2 cup of water

2 egg whites


Instructions


First, you will need to combine the syrup, sugar and water. Next, cook down until the syrup forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water or until the candy will string a thread when dripping from a spoon. Once this is accomplished, remove from heat and slowly add syrup to the beaten egg whites, beating continuously as you add syrup. Beat until candy loses it's gloss and is stiff enough to roll out on a confectioners sugar covered board. Spread thinly with peanut butter. Roll up, slice and serve.
