      Title: DIVINIT PASTELS
 Categories: Candies, Jello
      Yield: 7 Servings
 
           -Jello Book
      3 c  Sugar
    3/4 c  Light corn syrup
    3/4 c  Water
      2    Egg whites
      1 pk (3-oz) any fruit flavor
           -Jell-O
      1 c  Chopped nuts
      1 c  Fine-grated coconut
 
   Lovely candies, that are flavored and colored with fruit flavor gelatin.
  
   Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water;  bring to a boil over low heat, stirring
  to dissolve sugar.  Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until a little
  syrup forms a hard ball in cold water (or 252F on a candy thermometer) -
  about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Then
  add Jell-O, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until mixture will stand in
  stiff peaks.
  
   Then pour syrup in a thin stream over the egg white mixture, beating
  constantly.  Continue beating until mixture will hold its shape and loses
  its gloss- about 10 minutes with an electric mixer. Add nuts; quickly pour
  in to a well-greased 9-inch square pan, or drop by teaspoonsfuls onto wax
  paper and allow to dry.  Let stand in pan until firm enough to handle,
  about 10 minutes. Cut into 8 strips, foll in coconut, and cut each into 10
  to 12 pieces.  Roll in coconut again. Allow to dry about 2 hours. Store in
  a covered container. Makes about 7 dozen candies. Note if candy becomes too
  stiff during beating, add few drops hot water.
