Since my grandmother passed away, we have not enjoyed a "good" divinity. I could not locate her recipe. I have tried a couple of others, but the were simply "ok" IF they actually turned out. This recipe is wonderful!! I took it to my family's Christmas and had several requests for the recipe. I will make this every year! Thank you!

Thanks for this great recipe! I had always steered clear of making divinity 'cause I heard it was a bit difficult. Followed your instructions to a 'T', and it was perfect. And it wasn't difficult. Just took a little time and it was well worth it.

Paula, is it true that Divinity must be made on a Sunny day? I heard that it won't make on a cloudy day and that you will end up using more ingredients to get it right. I know some recipes I have tried for different things are alo like this.

I've made divinity several times and there's no way that it's ready in 5 minutes of beating after you add the hot syrup. I made it yesterday and it was more like 25 minutes before it held it's shape.

I MADE THIS CANDY BUT WASN'T FAST ENOUGH . CAN I POUR THIS IN CAKE PAN AND COU IN SQUARES ?? DO I DO ANYTHING DIFFERANT WITH RECIPE ?

One thing about using candy thermometers. You have to test them for accuracy periodically. Follow this guide. Since I have started doing this, my candy always turns out perfectly. http://candy.about.com/od/candybasics/ht/How-To-Test-Your-Candy-Thermometer.htm

Way too sweet....and I think it had too many nuts in it for my liking. It tasted like a super-sweet version of a pecan log found at truckstops in the South.

I just bought your 20 piece cookware set and I just love it. I want to buy some more of your bakeware and etc. So was wondering if you have coupons for discounts on anything or mail in rebates. Would appreciate a response at MnShirl@aol.com. Thanks!!!

Paula, Years ago I had a recipe for a cake called "Tunnel of Fudge". When you cut into it, there really was a tunnel of delicious chocolate going through the middle all around. I lost it when we moved. Can you help? ...Must tell you, I love your darling laugh and enjoy the interaction with your family in the kitchen. Thank you...Barbara

Hi Paula, Ive been trying to make the Hershey cocoa fudge, and Ive been having a problem with what type of heavy saucepan, it says i need a 4 quart heavy one. The one that i have my fudge will not turn out, and i have searched for one but they are so expensive, can you tell me were i can find one that will fit on a widows budget. Thank you Melody

I haven't made a thing that hasn't been good.I also like to experiment with cake mixes

By Earline white on December 20, 2010

Yikes! Just made this and did something wrong...I now have marshmallow creme with pecans in it! Either I didn't cook it long enough (maybe I need a new candy therometer) or I didn't beat long enough after it was mixed together. What a waste of 4 cups of sugar and 2 cups of pecans!

By Sandy on December 17, 2010

I have been looking for a Divinity recipe that would remind me of my Grandma's! We called her "MEME" and she was a Swedish cook and baker and had the "best" smells from her kitchen!! THANK YOU!!!
