Gary Lee, is the first pic a pecan in merengue and what's the second pic made of? I can see nuts (pecans?) in it but what else? I like the look of it! My wife says sugar, corn syrup, egg whites, water, salt. Can add peppermint or vanilla, and nuts or cherries, etc. The pictures have pecans. The second is called divinity fudge, same candy with a souped up name, poured flat and cut in squares. As kids, Karo corn syrup was the norm for our pancakes, good and sweet. Back then, sugar was not taboo. Today we have non fattening chemicals... Makes a great holiday tradition treat. Google it, got to be hundreds of how to's. Enjoy... If you don’t know, divinity is typically popular in the South and was invented (we think) by Karo corn syrup as a way to market their new product. It’s a cross between fudge, nougat and meringue and is totally unique and unparalleled. It’s so unlike the usual barks, brittles and fudges that are usually found around this time of year, and if you’ve never made it, I highly recommend you do! The cool thing about this recipe is it can be customized to your preferences, too. I went with a traditional vanilla pecan divinity, but you can replace the vanilla extract with peppermint extract and add in shredded coconut, or use walnuts instead of pecans. Up to you!

However I soon learned at an early age that Ogden Nash had a point, "candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker" The very best testimony about candy is found throughout the iconic movie "Willy Wonka" based upon the book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". There are so many hidden delights of language, within that movie all built up around candy. It is a delight sweeter than any confection.
