Notes: At Christmas, Nana & Grandpa would drive from Salt Lake to Idaho Falls. There was always the question, 'How was Malad Pass?' Upon their arrival, it was exciting to unload boxes of homemade goodies and sample the treats that would be part of our holiday desserts. I thought Nana's divinity candy was magical! I believe this Betty Crocker recipe was the one she used; it certainly captures the magic that I remember.
