CAN'T FAIL DIVINITY

3 cups sugar
3/4 cup white syrup
1/2 cup water

Boil to semi hard ball (250)

While this cooks, beat:

2 egg whites stiff and add
1 pkg Jello (3 oz) - orange, lime or lemon or your choice

Pour syrup over egg white mixture slowly and beat a short time.

When it has a dull look it will mound nicely on wax paper or pour half in lightly buttered 8 x 8 pan and half in mounds.  Sets quickly.

Well, the name of this recipe is kind of funny because I had an epic fail making this!  I believe also that the "white syrup" named in this recipe is Karo corn syrup.  It never turned into divinity but instead turned into a giant blob kind of like taffy which my family kind of pulled off a hunk (kinda stretchy).  Anyway, I ended up throwing it away.  I wonder if I did something wrong?  If anybody else tries this and has it turn out like divinity, let me know!
