I always make this at Christmas time and take it to potlucks, give to mail carriers, friends, retirees, shut-ins, and they look forward to it - in fact, if they miss out, I am reminded. People say it can't be made in rainy weather. That is false. I make it whenever I desire. It is written up in the church minutes that I brought my "wonderful divinity". It is truly divine! I have a friend who asked me to show her how to make it. She came with the ingredients and we made four great batches in less than 4 hours. I can't get my picture to add on the recipe but am sending it separately.
