Wonderful divinity recipe!!! I finally found a divinity recipe that was successful. My husband loved it, and he is a divinity critic. I knew it had to be great because it came from Paula!!!!

I've made candy for years, but never had much success with divinity. I tried Paula's recipe for Christmas, and it turned out perfect!! I used a candy thermometer, and my KitchenAid mixer, and I think that was the key because I've always used a hand mixer. The KitchenAid frees up your hands while pouring and beating..so much easier. I omitted the nuts from the mixture, but topped each piece with a pecan half or cherry...Yummy!

It was awesome! I have been making divinity for a long time at Christmas and I liked this recipe because it made enough to give as gifts to friends and family members. I followed the directions exactly except I had walnuts on hand instead of pecans, but it came out great! I guess the temp outside was perfect for making it because I beat it for the 5 minutes and it was ready. Thanks Paula!

I have made Divinity every Xmas over the last 20 years for friends and family. When I saw Paula's recipe for a larger batch, I thought i would try it and I am never going back!! Beating it (usually 15+ min to just the right texture/consistency is always the tricky part. With this recipe, I beat it for under 10 minutes and it was easy to deal with and handle right to the last spoonful. Perfect texture! I am thrilled to be able to serve and gift this perfect, old-fashioned divinity this year.

I used another recipe to make divinity for the first time and ended up throwing it in the garbage. I then found Paula's recipe and instructions and was able to produce the divinity that my husband wanted like his late mother used to make when he was a child. Thank you Paula

Paula, as much as you cook you must know that when you print a reciept you only want the reciept. I enjoy the comments people write I really don't want to print 3 pages of commemts just to get one of your reciepts.. I love you website and recieipt but fix it so we can read the comments and only print the reciepts.thank you. from Texas

I use 5 cups instead of 4 cups of sugar. Also, to get it to the right consistency, I had to beat it for way more than 5 minutes. It was almost 15 minutes until the mixture started to hold it's shape. I know this depends on humidity levels. It's a great candy & I love it!

This was my first time to make divinity, and I have never made any type of candy (except fudge before - this was very easy to make with my Kitchenaid mixer. The hardest part is getting the candy off the spoons and placing on wax paper...get a helper (Jamieson helped me and it went much faster. Thanks for such a delicious recipe!! Try it out - you won't be disappointed.
