This light, fluffy dessert is made with just a few ingredients, including egg whites, light corn syrup and chopped pecans, but the process of making divinity isn&#8217;t for the faint of heart. You&#8217;ll need to master a key technique (whipping egg whites into stiff peaks), achieve an exact temperature using a candy thermometer and have the patience to let the candy sit overnight to ensure it has the proper texture. While most divinity candy is made on the stovetop, this recipe for microwave divinity makes things a tad easier. Rest assured, though, your efforts will be worth it.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Microwave Divinity<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Egg whites:\u00a0<\/b>You&#8217;ll achieve stiff egg whites more easily if they&#8217;re a bit warm, which is why this recipe starts with letting the egg whites stand at room temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar: <\/strong>Granulated (white, not brown) sugar adds a crucial sweetness and texture to microwave divinity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Light corn syrup:\u00a0<\/strong>Avoid using dark corn syrup. Light corn syrup provides this candy with its glossy appearance and smoothness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:\u00a0<\/strong>Just a pinch of salt helps balance the sweetness in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pecans:\u00a0<\/strong>You could also use pistachios, peanuts or walnuts if you&#8217;d prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Vanilla ex<\/strong><\/strong><strong>tract:\u00a0<\/strong>Vanilla extract gives microwave divinity its distinct flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Let the egg whites warm up<\/h3>\n<p>Place the egg whites in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer, then let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the candy base<\/h3>\n<p>In a microwave-safe 2-quart bowl, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Microwave, uncovered, on high for four minutes, then stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cook for six to eight minutes longer or until a candy thermometer reads 260\u00b0F (the hard-ball stage), stirring every two minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Beat the egg whites<\/h3>\n<p>Just before the hard-ball temperature is reached, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-beat-eggs\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-beat-eggs\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">beat the egg whites<\/a> on medium speed until stiff peaks form.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Finish the candy base<\/h3>\n<p>With the mixer running on high speed, carefully pour the hot syrup in a slow, steady stream into the bowl. Beat just until the candy loses its gloss and holds its shape, 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Add the pecans and vanilla<\/h3>\n<p>Immediately stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla. (Do not overmix or the candy will get stiff and crumbly.)<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Form the candy, let it set<\/h3>\n<p>Working quickly, drop the candy by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let the candy stand at room temperature overnight or until dry to the touch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2130779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Microwave-Divinity-TOHcom25_44810_MD_P2_03_25_2b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Top view shot of Microwave Divinity; in a large ceramic bowl; served on a small black plate; marble surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">MARK DERSE FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Microwave Divinity Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add chocolate chips:\u00a0<\/strong>Mini chocolate chips make for a tasty addition when they&#8217;re stirred in with the pecans and vanilla.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Say it with caramel:\u00a0<\/strong>If you want to really kick things up a notch, drizzle the finished product with homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/salted-caramel-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/salted-caramel-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">salted caramel sauce<\/a>.

I used a 1200 watt microwave. It was fine for the initial 4 minutes, but after another 3 minutes, my favorite mixing bowl was destroyed (and yes, it was microwavable). A hole melted through the bottom and piping hot candy syrup leaked everywhere. I spent the rest of the evening clearing dried syrup off the kitchen floor, counter, and cabinets. And I'll spent the foreseeable future cleaning syrup out of the carpet.\n\nUnless you don't have a working stove for some reason, I'd avoid trying to microwave this. It saves no time, you still need a candy thermometer, and you can end up with a massive disaster, like in my case. It came out okay, but I wish the wattage would have been mentioned before I tried microwaving this.
