What to do with divinity that won't set up? ›

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.

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.

Beat until the candy holds its shape, five to six minutes. (Do not overmix or the candy will get stiff and crumbly.) Immediately fold in the pecans.

The ingredients are whipped together, incorporating air into the confection which produces a very soft, cloud-like texture which is dry to the touch — that is, if the weather is cooperating.

How To Handle Overly Dry Divinity. If you find that your Divinity candy has turned out too dry (left hand side of image above), work as quickly as possible to spoon the pieces out onto the parchment paper.
