Microwave Divinity
Not only is this the best-tasting divinity recipe I've ever made, it's the easiest! Try it with and without the pecans. —LaDonna Reed, Ponca City, Oklahoma

My first batch I over mixed because it was crumbly. My second batch turned out perfectly..but I learned two things: Watch your candy thermometer! Don't be impatient and get the liquid to 260 degrees Fahrenheit. The second step, I disagree with the recipe. When doing the final mixing, the directions say to mix until no longer glossy. I did that with my first batch and it went from non-glossy to too dry. So, instead, I kept checking for the mixture's ability to hold shape.. that worked. My Divinity was slightly shiny but delicious and creamy!!! I did opt to put pecans into my candy.
Worse divinity I have ever tasted. Hard as a rock and no flavor. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
Followed directions to a tee but it took forever for the syrup to reach hard ball stage. I had to use a hand mixer and the candy never lost its gloss. I added meringue powder and powered sugar to get it to set up. I have to say though, it tastes good.
Finally found a easy and great recipe for divinty.
Excellent divinity. You're microwave's power is different though and you have to experiment with the time
Visit I ruined all the ingredients as my mixer only took less than 4 minutes to overmix. No way was it 15-20 minutes.
Best divinity recipe ever! You must follow directions exactly as stated. I have always struggled with making divinity and had many fails. Not this time! Will definitely make again!!
Delicious!
This was my first time making divinity..the recipe was easy to follow but I was a little slow on the last step..adding the pecans and the vanilla. Even after that mistake it still came out wonderful!!
Love divinity!! Especially when I don't have to use a thermometer or any ball stages.
