Steps:
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Put the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, bring to a boil and cook until the temperature reaches 260 degrees F on a candy thermometer, or the hard-ball stage, when a bit of the mixture dropped into cold water holds its shape, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour in a thin steady stream into the beaten egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on high for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla, and continue beating on high just until the candy starts to lose its gloss, 5 to 6 minutes. When the beaters are lifted, the mixture should fall in a ribbon that mounds on itself.

- 4. When the syrup is ready, pour very slowly into the stiffly beaten whites. Beat until creamy.

Tips:

- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help to incorporate air into the fudge, making it light and fluffy.
- Add the hot sugar mixture to the egg whites in a slow, steady stream, beating constantly. This will help to prevent the egg whites from curdling.

- Pour the fudge into a prepared pan and let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Store the divinity fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
