ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Divinity (confectionery)

Divinity is a sweet and fluffy treat that tastes like marshmallows and is usually shaped like a blob or a pillow. It's made by mixing sugar, corn syrup, and water together and then boiling it until it gets really hot. Then, you mix in egg whites and beat it all together until it gets super thick and sticky. Finally, you scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a tray and let it cool until it's hard, just like candy!

Divinity gets its name from the fact that it's really hard to make perfectly every time, almost like it requires some kind of magical power or divine intervention. It also looks and tastes really special and fancy, which is why people like to give it as a gift or serve it at fancy parties. Just like how superheroes have special powers, divinity has its own special powers of sweetness and deliciousness!
