No Nut Divinity (Gift Tin) (2024)

FAQs

Why is divinity candy so hard to make? ›

Humidity equals wet, and wet equals candy that often won't set. Even in the cooler and less humid months, it can be a challenge to make old fashioned divinity - that being a divinity that is purely sugar, corn syrup, water, egg whites, chopped pecans, a little vanilla - and a goodly amount of elbow grease.

Divinity candy can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. If you are storing divinity candy in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature before cutting it into squares.

Beat until candy holds its shape, 5-6 minutes. (Do not overmix or candy will get stiff and crumbly.)

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. Repeat the process until you get the desired fluffy consistency.

Divinity is a nougat-like sugar candy that is aerated with egg-white foam. It's a cross between a meringue and a candy, and can be soft and chewy, or hard and crunchy depending on temperature and ratio of sugar syrup to egg whites.

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.

If you undercook your syrup, your candy will be sweet puddles. Overcook your syrup, and your candy will too hard to eat. Underbeat your candy and you might have to eat it with a spoon. Overbeat it and could be crunchy and sugary.

The divinity is ready when it holds its shape in a mound on the parchment paper. If it turns into a puddle, continue beating the mixture.

Every encounter in this game is very different and requires plenty of thought from what I find anyway, don't just expect to walk forward, bump into some enemies, and then send your melee forward and keep your range back and expect everything to be dandy, the enemies have just as much chance killing you as you do ...

How hard is divinity original sin? ›

There are five different difficulty modes or ways to experience the game beyond the typical easy or hard -- plus there are a few extras in the Definitive Edition. Unfortunately, some of the difficulties can be, well, difficult, even for those used to playing similar-style RPGs.
