It seems not so many folk are familiar with divinity these days, from the reactions received at the parties we took these to. Every one loved it, but few knew what divinity is. Big change from my childhood, when it was a required treat for the holidays. Anyway, it turned out delicious, and it's easy to make. Thanks for the recipe.
