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.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Yesterday I asked my son Kent who was visiting us what he would like me to make him while he was in town. He came up with the idea of me making pumpkin bread with Chocolate Chips. Although I have had this bread at Great Harvest, I was wondering if I could make something that tasted just as good. I did. Here is the recipe that I adapted from Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.
3 cups sugar
1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2/3 cup water
1 15-ounce can pumpkin
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of two 9x5x3 inch loaf pans or 4 7-1/2x3-1/2x2 inch pans. In a large mixing bowl beat sugar, eggs, and oil with an electric mixer. Combine flour, solda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Alternately add flour, mixture and water to sugar mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Beat in pumpkin and then add chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
