Notes: I loved Mom's Divinity. It was very difficult to make as I remember and if you made one mistake, it would turn out more like the consistency of cake batter than soft, chewy, melt in your mouth candy.
Secretly, though, sometimes I hoped that the batch would fail; because I then got to eat that luscious, runny candy right out of the bowl and scrape it clean! 😜
