I got some cooking done today. The cookies on the left are Scottish Shortbread that I made with dark brown sugar. The one on the right is Divinity.
I grew up LOVING Divinity. Sadly I grew up in the Pacific Northwest though so this meant that making Divinity was EXTREMELY hard. Humid, rainy or about to be either days are not good for making Divinity. However I loved the stuff. You can imagine how I felt when I saw that today only had a 35% humidity in the house so I could make this wonderful candy! It turned out perfect!
I made the Divinity how it says, but I added some chopped walnuts at the same time as the vanilla. I also used parchment and lined a square baking dish and poured the mixture in there and let it set. Lots easier then dropping by spoonful!
I may make some more things tonight but I wanted to get this post up before it got to be too late. I will include anything else I make tomorrow. 🙂
