“This recipe is fast and easy and taste better than from the bakery. I struggled for years trying to make divinity and had almost given up when I found this recipe from an old family cookbook. I like to make it pink, but use any color you like.” - by HONEYBEEMELISSA

Directions
- In a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, stir together the water and sugar. Bring to a boil, and heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the marshmallow creme, vanilla, food coloring and pecans. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until slightly cooled and thickened. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Chill until firm before storing in an airtight container.

"I tried this recipe and the candy would not firm up - it was very runny. I'll try making it one more time since it is much simpler than my usual divinity recipe. The only change I will make will be ..." See moreto increase the temperature. I heated to 238 degrees -- next time I'll bring the temperature closer to 250."
