This was excellent. I have never had any luck making divinity before but this was perfect. It is my mothers favorite and I was able to send her the batch for her birthday. She said it was "DEVINE".

Well, it took me three trys to get it to turn out, but finally I figured it out. The end result was wonderful!!! It is a bit difficult--you have to pay attention, it only took about 15 minutes for it to reach hard ball stage.

I first tried divinity a year ago when my grandma made it...I was 16. I started trying to make it several time with different recipes but never could. This was the first time with this recipe and as long as you pay attention it was real easy and really good!! If a 17 year old who catches a kitchen on fire evry time she cooks can do it, anyone can!! Its great!!

This is very close to the recipe I have used for years. (Mine calls for 2 1/2 cups sugar) It really is wonderful. The most important thing to remember when making divinity (actually most candies) is NEVER attempt it during rainy weather or whenever the humidity is high. I live in Louisiana so that limits the days for candy making. If you try to make divinity during high humidity, you will end up with nothing but a white gooey glop of glue! Trust me it's worth waiting for more favorable conditions. Good luck!

This is like my mom's recipe I used for along time. Divinity is a challenge, but well worth the effort. When I am pouring the hot syrup into my egg whites, be sure and pour it slow, I pour it into the beaters alittle at a time, if you pour it to fast it will cook your egg whites. If in the 5 minutes it hasn't lost the gloss, keep mixing, and if your mixer gets to hot, I stir by hand until the divinity just starts to loose its gloss and it is time to drop on your waxed paper. In rainy weather I have had to stir by hand for quite some time, but I have never had trouble making it when it rains except for having to stir it longer.

This is BY FAR THE BEST divinity recipe! Contrary to what one reviewer stated, this recipe is very specific. I was very happy with the end product. Candy making is a very tedious and sometimes difficult process. Have a deep bowl when you start the 'hot pour' and pour slow in a thin stream. Make it take about 3 to 4 minutes to pour it all. Thanks for a great recipe! :-))))))))) A+++++++++

Great Divinity! I have not made any in a while, but this still turned out perfectly. It was not grainy at all and I'm in the deep South. I did allow it to heat to the hard ball stage to avoid it being too soft, though. I also added some pecans. Thanks for a great recipe.

My mom used to make Divinity every Christmas. It was just like this except she put food coloring in the mix (red or green) to make it more festive than the simple white.
