    My husband told me that I couldn't make Divinity cause he had tried it and it didn't work... So I said BRING IT!!! I saw you make it on your show and looked it up here on the net. I made it and it came out PERFECT.. We couldn't keep our hands out of it. My husband had to take it to work cause I was eating it all. Thanks Paula and everybody enjoy her divinity. It makes ALOT!!!!

    Great taste and texture. Brings back memories of my childhood. Taste like my mother's when I was a child.

    Now this divinity is as good as what my Dad use to make when I was a kid. So wonderful. Send Candy paks to friends, they say the best they have ever eaten.

    Great divinity recipe!! To WENDY in LOS ANGELES: Here are a few reasons that divinity doesn't set up: 1 The egg whites weren't beat until stiff peaks formed 2 There may have been a little bit of egg yolk in your whites, or a little oil residue in the bowl you beat the whites in 3 The batch may not have been beat long enough after adding the hot syrup to the egg whites (The beater will start to sound a bit sluggish when the mixture has been beat enough. 4 Or there was too much humity in the air. You can add a pinch of cream of tarter to the egg whites before beating to help the candy to set better. Hope this helps.

    i definitely made a mistake. mine was not able to shape and stuck to the wax paper. ive never had divinity before, but it tasted so good. i realized i used light corn syrup instead of white corn syrup. is that the reason why mine came out wrong or is it cause i needed to beat it until stiff. really want to make this again but need some tips.

    this divinity makes you cry its soooo
    divine.....and the story Paula tells about trying to match her momma's divinity is one we all can relate to ourselves. MOMMA'S always know and they always will wheather on earth or in heaven!

    I grew up helping my mom with the candy making before Christmas. I always remember divinity being the problem child. When I moved out on my own I would still go back home for the candy sessions. This year I did some of it myself. My Mom wasnt going to do divinity, so I was on my own. I love Paula and was very excited seeing her recipie. I had NO problems. It came out just perfect and EVERYONE loved it, even my mom.

    This recipe is as good as an old one I had for divinity, but this one is much easier! Definitely only make it on a dry day though!!

    I love the recipe for mama's divinity. It is a candy i have had only once or twice in my life and am very fond of it. I was happy to see that the recipe was rather simple. I can't wait to try it myself. And, i loved the show you had with this recipe in it. I laughed and so did my mother. I loved your explanation about pecans.
