Buc-ee's Pecan Divinity Log

Divinity is one of those old Southern candies people either grew up with or have never heard of. It's a whipped sugar candy, light and airy, somewhere between a meringue and a marshmallow, with pecans folded in.

People search for it as Buc-ee's divinity, Buc-ee's pecan divinity, or Buc-ee's divinity candy.

Our take: it's a holiday candy at heart. Divinity shows up on Christmas candy trays all over the South, and anyone who's tried to make it knows homemade batches are famous for failing on humid days. A ready-made bar skips the stress and still brings back the memories.

Honest notes: it's very sweet, so slice it thin. It's soft and can turn sticky if it gets warm or damp, so keep it cool and dry. If you've never had divinity, think of it as nougat's lighter, sweeter cousin, and give it to the oldest person at the table first; they'll tell you the story.
