Dad's Divinity

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Dad's Divinity). This was the only thing I remember Dad cooking around the holidays. And if HE could do it... Just remember my mom's tip: never, never, never try to make candy when it's raining. I don't know why, but it seems to be true!
