2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. water
2 egg whites
1 tsp. powdered sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chocolate chips

In heavy saucepan, mix granulated sugar, corn syrup, water and salt. Slowly bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook to hard ball stage, 250 degrees. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually pour hot syrup into stiff whites, beating constantly. Beat until candy begins to hold its shape. Beat in vanilla and powdered sugar. (Powdered sugar makes a real different in the texture.) Add chips and stir to melt partially into divinity mixture. Pour into buttered pan. Let set several hours. Chopped nuts may be added.
