During the holidays, make two batches of this creamy candy - one tinted red and one green. Arrange divinity drops on a tiered serving dish and - go ahead - impress your friends and relatives.

3 c. sugar
3/4 c. light Karo syrup
3/4 c. hot water
1/4 tsp. salt
2 egg whites, room temperature
1 (sm.) pkg. red or green gelatin
1 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped

Butter sides of heavy 2 quart saucepan and in it, combine first 4 ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Cook without stirring, until soft ball stage, 250 degrees. Remove from heat.

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, gradually beating in gelatin until stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup slowly over egg white mixture, beating constantly at high speed. When soft peaks form and mixture begins to lose its gloss, stir in nuts. Drop from teaspoon onto waxed paper.
