It turned out perfect. I had to mix it for about 5 minutes longer than the recipe says but once it was dull, it was perfect and looks awesome. I did use my kitchenaid which is a MUST. I used the whisk attachment and it worked great.

I just made this recipe exactly the way it is and it turned out excellent. I can't believe I finally tried making this candy again and this time it worked. Previously tried another recipe for it on this website and it didn't turn out. This recipe was easy to make and is delicious! I have a Kitchen Aid mixer and used it for making this. Exellent, wouldn't change a thing. Highly recommend.

If your divinity fails, let it sit out overnight uncovered and the next day scoop about a teaspoon in between 2 pretzels. I used the tiny pretzel twists, but the circle or waffle pretzels would work even better. The salty pretzel with the sweet, goopy mess is so addictive!

Made the recipe exactly as listed. It took about 20 minutes of mixing to lose most of the glossiness. I added chopped pecans the last couple minutes of mixing. This stuff is soooooo good!!!! Thanks for the great recipe!

I'm very happy to report that I was able to successfully make divinity after my 4th attempt. This round, I bought a decent candy thermometer, and cooked the syrup mixture to 260, hard ball stage. I also swtched from electric hand beaters to an electric stand mixture, which made all the difference. I'm in the NorthWest, and during a heatwave, so the humidity was a problem. I thought I was going to end up with another sloppy sticky mess, but stubbornly continued to drop the dough into spoonfuls on waxpaper. They started out as runny blobs, but as I continued, the dough began to stiffen and become lighter, also hold its shape better. I think that next time I will allow the dough to cool a bit before putting it onto wax paper.

I used this recipe as my first time making Divinity as a gift for my mother who absolutely loves it. It came out perfectly!! I used my stand mixer to combine everything and later read in another cookbook that its best to stop the mixer when adding the syrup to keep from making a mess. I didn't do that and ended up with syrup all over the side of the mixer bowl. No matter though, it still turned out awesome and I will for sure make it again next year!
