I couldn't wait to try this but it didn't come out so perfect till it cooled off a bit while dropping. The first 10 or so pieces were a puddle and once cooled didn't come off the waxed paper. The next few pieces made were ok, some were flat but harden nice and the taste was great. The last pieces were perfect. My dh suggested I wait a few minutes to drop when the first ones were puddles but I told him the recipe said to drop quick but I should of tried to wait a minute or two. I appreciate the recipe, the taste was delish.

This did not work for me at all. This made the sticky-est mess I have ever seen in my life!! You could repair tar-mac with this stuff. Waste of time and money! I almost blew up my mixer it was so gooey it bound up the beaters. I ended up prying the whole thing out on wax paper where it oozed itself into a puddle and rolled it up and threw it away. This one is not for beginners and is not easy. I followed the instructions exactly as listed here with a candy thermometer etal.

This is the same recipe I got from my Great Aunt Grethel when I was a little girl. I LOVE IT! It is my favorite candy & the only divinity recipe I ever use because it is the best. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

This is the first divinity I have ever made, and we could actually eat it. It worked so well, I made a second batch for a friend.
