Pastel Divinity

This is my favorite Divinity recipe which I got a long time ago in a magazine. It is Kerry's favorite.
3 cups sugar
3/4 cups light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
2 egg whites
1 pkg flavored gelatin
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup grated coconut

Mix the sugar, syrup and water until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook to medium hard ball stage. Beat the egg whites until fluffy while cooking the sugar mixture then add gelatin gradually, beating until the mixture forms peaks that hold shape and it loses it's gloss. Add the coconut and nuts. Drop onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet. 48 pieces.
