Those of you that regularly read my blog know that I cannot make candy. I fail at candy making ! I have tried my entire life to make fudge and divinity. Well I made this fudge a couple of months ago and it worked. Yesterday it turns out was the perfect day to make divinity. There was not a drop of humidity anywhere near my house and I was not a failure at making divinity AGAIN! I’m so happy with myself. So you ask what does it take to have perfection at Divinity? First of all follow the recipe to a T. I have to laugh at this because I pulled out my mother-in-law’s recipe and the directions are so vague. I had to fill in the gaps which was quite scary because none of the previous recipes that I used were a success. Second, choose a day that is dry and clear. Absolutely no humidity is best. Third, be patient.
One of my favorite combinations is peanut butter and chocolate. When I was pregnant (many years ago) and trying not to be a huge balloon. I vividly remember going to CHMS’s musical and before finding a seat stopping by the snack bar and buying a Reese’s cup! I relished every bite taking an hour or more to eat the three peanut butter cups. Truthfully, that is the last time that I have purchased a triple cup of Reese’s. But, I have eaten many of the miniature ones since that night.
