This was the first time I’ve every made divinity and I was nervous because I’ve always heard how tricky it can be. This recipe made it simple and the divinity was delicious! I appreciate that Haley puts descriptions of what it should physically look like, because my blending and microwave times took less than hers. I will definitely use this recipe again!

In reply to Elleni. Hi Elleni, I have not tried to see if it would work, but I would have a feeling they would behave the same way as meringue and take on the moisture from the other cookies.

Would these hold up ok in an assorted cookie tin or would they soften? I’ve tried meringues but they take on moisture from the other cookies in the tin..wondering if these would have the same problem?

In reply to Emily Evangelista. Hi Emily, yes, you should definitely be monitoring the sugar mixture to watch as it approaches temperature, then start whipping the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. The egg whites shouldn't take more than a minute or two on high speed, so budget your time before the sugar mixture has reached temp.

To clarify, once the sugar mixture gets up to temp, do we set it aside until stiff peaks form? I imagine there is some time lag if we don’t start whipping until just before the sugar hits target temperature.

In reply to Daryl Byers. Hi Daryl, I highly recommend making two separate batches. Candy can be tricky and it is easier to make separate ones than double the same recipe.

Can this recipe be doubled?
