Lesson learned on this one - Believe the other reviews and don't try the recipe as it is hoping it will turn out okay. Doctored it up as much as possible to try to make it work so that I didn't waste the ingredients.

This recipe is also on the back of the Betty Crocker Frosting box and it says to bake for 5 minutes at 325. I made 2 batches and the batch that I baked turned out much better.

Very leary after reading the reviews but it turned out great and I used the water it called for and about 2½ cups of powdered sugar. I never measured it I used it as it was needed so I just poured until I felt it was right. But the recipe was on the frosting box. It was Betty Crocker and it said after dropping it on the cookie sheets one needs to bake it at 325°for 5 minutes. I did this and it set the candy up immediately. For one that has never been able to make divinity no matter what I tried I was estatic with glee that I finally made divinity that I did not have run all over the place....I will definitly use this recipe again and the neighbors were thrilled too! Merry Christmas with five star joy!!!!

I should have read the reviews. My didn't work either. 10 mins of mixing and all I have is a big bowl of frosting. I used a generic frosting - I'll try again with BC.

DON'T DO IT!! First, I made a batch with the original recipe. A flop! Runny syrup. Waste of ingred. Then I followed the user's suggestions using 1/4 c. boiling water. This stuff was so stiff the mixer could barely handle it. Light and fluffy, I think not. How about concrete frosting?! I can't believe I wasted a hard-earned vacation day for this!

this recipe might make an excellent fuge recipe--i will know shortly. after trying this recipe i figure there is something that the submitor did tell divulge or that person forgot about. this turned out to be the worst recipe ever and i KNOW that i followed that persons directions to the letter--although the title does it justice that may be the ONLY thing that is correct it is definitely CREAMY, creamy what i have no idea.

I also used the BC frosting mix. It turned out excellent. I was scared after reading previous ratings about it not whipping to form a stiff peak. I used my Kitchen Aide mixer and it whipped up in about 5 minutes. This one is a keeper for my family...My mom loves divinity!!
