A Sticky Mess!
1:11 PMI tried to make Divinity today. I'm not sure why. I'm most certainly not a good candy maker. Cake, pies and cookies are my best. I used Paula Deen's recipe. Mine looks nothing like hers. I'm not sure where I messed up. Most likely it is the altitude. Or it could just be my impatience. Or it could be a faulty candy thermometer. The sugar boiled for a good 20 minutes and it never got hotter than 225 degrees.
I have four cookie sheets of round white oozing circles of sweetness.
Looks like someone was on the counter that shouldn't have been. I didn't necessarily catch her, but I know it was Winston. She was the one licking her paws!
There's a reason I let others make Christmas candy.
Have a great day!

Sounds like your altitude Jen. I have a recipe for no fail divinity that I will have to find and post for you. In the mean time you could add a lot of nuts to your candy and make something similar to a nut roll.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have the incriminating evidence :)
