How to Store Divinity Candy. Improper storing is one of our top five candy-making mistakes. To ensure it stays fresh, store your divinity candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.

Pour the syrup in a thin stream: When adding the hot syrup to the whipped egg whites, pour it in a thin, steady stream while continuously beating the egg whites. This ensures even incorporation and a smoother texture. Avoid overbeating: Be cautious not to overbeat the mixture after adding the syrup.

You can sometimes correct a divinity fail. If it is too stiff, add very hot water, beating in a half tablespoon at a time until it reaches a fluffy consistency. If it is too thin and does not set, try adding 1/2 tablespoon at a time of powdered sugar until it thickens.

But if your divinity fails to harden, you can beat in two tablespoons of powdered sugar and allow the mixture to rest a few minutes; if the candy hardens too much, you can blend in hot water a tablespoon at a time until the perfect, fluffy consistency is reached.

Consider this: divinity hates humidity. It's best to make divinity on a cool, dry day. If it's humid (over 50%) or rainy, the candy might end up with a more gooey, or grainy texture.

Why is my Divinity chewy or crumbly? If the texture of your divinity just isn't right, it may be that your temperature was off. Make sure to cook your sugar syrup to 260°F, and beat your egg white-syrup mixture until it loses its glossy sheen for the right final consistency.

If your divinity candy fails to harden, add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and beat again. Allow it to rest for about 15 minutes. This will absorb more moisture and will allow your sweet treat to harden. If you want your divinity candy to soften up a bit add hot water a tablespoon at a time and beat it again.

When the hot sugar mixture in the saucepan reaches 260 degrees Fahrenheit (known as the "hard-ball stage" in candy making), slowly pour it in a thin stream over the egg whites. Continue to beat the mixture until it holds its shape. Don't overdo it, or the divinity will become crumbly and stiff.

Believe it or not the weather can have a huge impact on the quality of Divinity. Extremely humid days can cause Divinity to become too moist. In other words, fall flat and be too sticky.

Wait until the sugar has reached 230F to whip the egg whites you want the sugar and egg white to be ready at the same time.
