Fabulous recipe. As always, with divinity, check with weather, and you can't overblend.

Tasted great - hard to make without another set of hands. I was the only that liked them in our family, too new for the rest. Great recipe.

EXCELLENT! I tried one other before finding this one and I'd have to say the key for it turning out so well was the way you add the sugar mixture to the egg... very slowly and in a small stream. This ones a keeper!

Followed recipe exactly and it was the smoothest ever. Even made it on a humid day and it turned out perfectly. Cannot say the same for my attempt at sponge candy. Great recipe!!

Yum! My Aunt used to make this when I was a kid, and it tastes just like it. You do have to be patient while waiting for it to get thick (thought my mixer was going to burn up!), but it was definitely worth the wait! Thanks for sharing!

Very, very good. You have to be careful when you cook it and watch your thermometer. Mine turned out absolutely perfect! Thank you, Kimberly.

Even if you follow the recipe exactly and don't make it on a rainy or humid day, you have to accept that sometimes it won't work. That is just the nature of making divinity and has nothing to do with the recipe. That's just something you have to be aware of before you take on ANY divinity recipe. If you don't accept that fact...make something else. You have to be a good sport when attempting a divinity recipe! That being said... I love this recipe!!!! I like chocolate chips rather than nuts in it....although just plain is wonderful as well!

First rule of divinity: don't try making it when it's raining or the humidity is high...even the best recipe will fail. I've not tried the "humidity version" with a tablespoon less water; so beware if you're attempting it. This is an excellent recipe! I use a cup of pecans instead of walnuts. Also, I don't use a candy thermometer, just test a bit of the syrup in ice water; if you can gather it up and it forms a hard ball that you can "hear" when you drop it on the counter, it's ready.

I thought this was wonderful!!! However, this was my first time making this. As I was spooning the divinity, I noticed it starting to clump. I believe I messed up somehow. but it is still VERY wonderful!!!!!!! Thanks soo much!!

I think this recipe needs some detail instructions for first timers. Cook the sugar mixture briskly, unstirred and undisturbed, for 10-15 minutes, until the temperature reached 255 degrees on a candy thermometer, or a drop of the mixture in cold water forms a firm almost brittle ball. I found the 10-15 minutes, was just as important as the temperature. Next, beat the second mixture for another 10 minutes or so (very important time), loses its gloss and is firm enough to hold its shape in a spoon. Stir in the nuts at once. Great taste and texture. Hope this helps.

This is a terrible recipe. The divinity formed a goopy mess and I followed the directions very specifically. This was a waste of time and effort.
