Divinity

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. almond extract
  
• 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans

Directions

• In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 250° (hard-ball stage).
• Remove from the heat; stir in marshmallow cream, vanilla and pecans. Continue stirring until candy cools and begins to hold its shape when dropped from a spoon.
• Quickly drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Yield: 4 dozen.
