How wonderful! I feel like Phyllis is still alive when watching. What a wonderful soul she was.
Just found out about Phyllis's passing. Prayers for comfort to her family. She taught me how to cook after my wife's passing. Thanks for the memories.
I think of you often Ms Phyllis. I find myself going back and watching the older videos you had such a soothing nature and kind soul.. you would be proud of your son fulfilling your wishes with your channel. You are missed but your legacy lives on.. Making this today as I start to make my Christmas candy.
I'm making this for gifts this year, it was my dad's favorite, thanks for leaving this post up, her memory is a blessing.
My mother and older sister tried to make divinity a few times years ago but it always ended up really hard. What a wonderful mother Phyllis must have been for many reasons, her cooking just being one of them.
Dr. And Mrs. Phyllis Stokes. Theirs were lives well lived. I look forward to meeting them in heaven.
One of the last video’s or so, Mr. Bucky was bickering about not getting Divinity that often. It was cute to watch you two discussing it! R.I.P. Mr. Bucky. I know he misses your cooking!
This is the best Divinity video I’ve watched after dozens on RUclips. A real treasure and honor to the recipe’s subtle details. Thank you for capturing this for us all - a real blessing.
I've just watched the video saying that Phyllis passed away a few days ago. So sad 😥. I made this quite a while ago, following her recipe and it was absolutely delicious. Such a kind hearted lady. I'll miss her videos x
I just watched this for the first time. I thought she was an amazing teacher and she reminds me of my grandmother. So sad she is gone. 🥲
@@TheSmack2007 I agree. She seemed lovely x
Oh, me too, me too!
Oh i,din't know that
so 😔 rest in peace🙏🙏
Mr Buckley’s Divinity is a real process! I’m sure you will be back to making it in no time! Love the tip of brushing water along the pan side to avoid the sugar crystals. Thank you , Mr Buckey, for pulling this one up again. God bless you and Phyllis as she progresses in health.
I miss Mr. Bucky. I am going to make this for Christmas and will be sure to tell everyone it's Mr. Bucky's!
I love watching this lady ! She is such a sweet heart! Wish I had found these videos sooner!!💕💕
Kitchen Aid stand mixers are the only ones that can take the punishment of making divinity without burning out the motor. My grandma used hers many years ago and now I use mine for making this delicious candy!! My family loves it!! Its a Christmas tradition for our family. I am originally from CA and it was very popular out there too!!
Wife here agree on the kitchen aid mixer! Mom and I burned out two ordinary mixers in one day making divinity
@@bennylawrence6221I was going to say the same thing.
I am making Bucky's Divinity TODAY!! I live in FL and it is not raining. Last year it turned out beautiful!! Thanks so much Phyllis!!
Missing you & Mr Bucky this Christmas holiday. Get well soon!
Phyllis could have had her own cooking show and would have gone mainstream. She has such a wonderful personality, and her cooking demonstrations are wonderful too.🎁💗🌺
I’ve never tried this recipe,I’ll have to try it,maybe the next holiday! It looks delicious. Thanks Steven for keeping your moms account open.,
Anybody wey dey on him own suppose dey enjoy
I miss you so much. Your gentle voice and your recipes.
Mr Bucky loves his divinity ! He always asked for it lol missing you both
It’s holiday time again and I come to your channel to watch the videos for sweets that I make. I really love listening to you and all the tips you give along with instructions. It makes me feel loved, like I’m in the kitchen with my gramma who is no longer here. She loved to cook and bake and she was from Mobile Alabama so I had plenty of southern delights growing up.
I know you are no longer here with us but I want you to know that you and your delicious recipes live on through me and my family. I have watched your videos for years and years and even though I didn’t know you personally, I feel your loss
🙏🏻🌈💖💗💓💞
I can’t wait to try. You were such a great teacher and now your Son is teaching us. You would be so proud of him.
You are a great teacher and this is coming from a gal in her mid sixties. I am going to try and make this in about three days for myself and my husband....And rest assured it will be called "Mr. Bucky"s Divinity"..
Jan white so sweet of you❤️
Jan white I already have fallen in Love with these two precious souls. I’m also now in my sixties and I feel as though God has richly blessed me with finding this channel. I just wanted to make a connection... I’m going to make this as well and soon. Maybe we will meet back and compare notes. I am not a candy maker but Ms Phyllis is so precious in the way she encourages, I might be able to do it. God bless you and I pray yours turns out famously.
YAY! Mr. Bucky got his candy.
Mr. Bucky is the luckiest man in the World.
BEST WIFE EVER!!!
Ms Stokes, it doesn’t matter how many times I watch the videos you left us, I learn something. I miss you and your soothing, beautiful voice. I suppose God needed another angel and came calling for you. I’m happy and very sad at the same time.❤I will always cherish your recipes and you!
FYI- if you spray your glass measuring cup with a little non-stick spray, it really helps to get sticky substances (honey, corn syrup, etc.) out of the cup.
Phyllis, my mom is 77 yrs old and she has always talked about divinity my whole life.I never knew what it even was. I am thankful and grateful to you for sharing this recipe.
Hi momma Phyllis,
I remember Mr. Bucky and y’all talking about how he didn’t get enough of your divinity..... so bittersweet. We surely do miss you Mr. Bucky. Many prayers for you, momma P. Love you so much. 💕
❤️
I used to help my mother make divinity , fudge , peanut brittle , i was only 8 yrs old ....we make up to about 20 batches or so ....we would make it on a rainy day or foggy wet day we found it to help make the divinity be moist ....it was a job just to stir by hand ...that all changed when the... KITCHEN AIDE MIXER.....was made it was a blessing...one thing i can say when it was Christmas time we would add food color it would look pretty with the WHITE , GREEN , YELLOW ,RED on the trays....one thing i can say i really don"t see many people string the candy until it formed soft peaks ...then we would spoon it out ..what a job
Phyllis SON, I loved to watch your mom's show and especially if she were cooking. Blessings......Rick
the first video I saw of Phyllis was the old fashion fudge and then saw a video just with her I sit here and cried and cried, I really enjoyed her video and this is my 2nd, I will continue to watch her videos, RIP Phyllis Stokes.. I'm still crying and it was last night.. God Bless
I agree - you’re a really great teacher. Calm and thorough!
Reminds me of my grandma and aunt Alma in southern Illinois when I was little. Warms my heart and makes me cry at the same time ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you
I surely wish Mr. Buckie were here to have some Divinity, but then I would never deprive him of his glorious time in Heaven. We just miss them!
Oh, my Maw Maw always made this. I cried when I saw the notification for this. Thank you, Ma'am!
I make divinity. You explain this so incredibly well! Yes we have to do it the way you said, or your recipe. It's awesome I used to beat it till it flies away in threads. This is easy. Thanks!
I will be making this in mr Buckys memory this Christmas ,as when I watched the video with mr Bucky moaning about Phyllis not having made it for a couple of years made my husband and I laugh out load and determined to have this year ,so here’s hoping it turns out well as being in the uk using cup measurements is a little daunting ,also saying a prayer for Phyllis my she receive the healing she needs 🙏🏽🇬🇧
This is what I thought when I saw this video is I remember Mr. Bucky saying he didn’t get enough of this. He was so funny. I knew it was delicious if he wanted it more often.
Hey Phyllis! This reminds me of my "Grandma Mary" (from Alabama) so much! She always made everyone in the family a care package every Christmas and I couldn't wait to get it!! She included all kinds of candy, cookies and the old fashion chex mix snack. Sooo good! She went to see the good lord about 24 years ago but seeing this video brings back so many great memories. TFS!! : ) Hope you have a great day!! Hugs from Texas!
Walnuts make delicious divinity, as well. Really delicious. If it's a little humid they also help the divinity set up better too.
Phyllis this brings back a hilarious memory of my chilldhood. My grandmother always loved peppermint. She grew it in her garden and she always had peppermint candies in her house and even carried a few in her purse. Well one day she decided to make peppermint divinity.
My uncle Jim and I came to her house just after the divinity was ready and she offered us each a piece. Well Grandma was either getting forgetful or she liked the taste of peppermint far beyond that which any human being could normally tolerate because she used about four times the amount of peppermint oil the recipe required.
I took one bite and my head felt like an old road on a hot day. I think every suture in my skull expanded. My brain felt like it was leaking out my ears. I looked over at my uncle Jim and his eyes were bulged and watery. His face was redder that the candy thermometer.
" Mom what the bleep did you put in this divinity?"
Oh, did I use too much peppermint oil.?"
BOY, DID SHE!!!!!
Funny story!
Ms Phyllis- you are amazing! My Granny (God rest her soul) taught me to make this- almost exactly like you! I don’t do it anymore (even during Xmas) because I’ve sworn off the sugar, but you’ve done it EXACTLY like she taught me. It absolutely brought tears to my eyes! Thank- You So Much!!!!
I love sweet treats. Bless you Lady Phylis in heaven.
Finally!!! I get my Grandmother's Divinity Recipe through you, Phyllis. Bless your sweet heart. Now I just want to meet you in person someday.....
Susan Jenkins me too , Susan. I wisely go to Cowpens s.c. but I wonder what part of s.c. they live ? if iam not mistaking.
We love her so much. So happy to make her recipe this year! When we watch her, she makes me feel like I'm home again.
My Mom made it with Pecans & Maraschino Cherries. It was my favorite, next to my Grandmothers Fudge w/Walnuts Oh! & Rice Crispy squares lol!
I miss this dear lady and Mr. Bucky
I have always wanted to try to make this and Ms. Phyllis gave such good instructions and helpful hints. Candy never wants to set up or me and I would have sugar crystals and now I know why. Going to try this and so glad to have it. Thanks!
Finally I found a good recipe to make this for my great grandmother!! I love this candy and I'm glad I can let this candy live on

Watching all your older videos. Trying to watch all of them. Love them 💓💞💕💖💝😘
Hi Phyllis. Thank you for your great instructions on how to make divinity. Both my grandmothers made it. Sadly, I never watched them while they were making it. My one grandmother sometimes used black walnuts in hers (very tasty). TFS. Toni in beautiful Colorado.
Thank you for your yummy divinity recipe! My late dad LOVED divinity candy. Every time I see some, I always think of him.
I think that I'll make some with my two grandgirls.
I really enjoy your videos. I'm from Texas, hearing a southern accent is great.
May you be richly blessed ✝️
I love this candy but it is tricky to make. Haven’t made it in years. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos.
Phyllis ~ I just adore your videos‼️they bring back so many nostalgic memories.
Miss you Miss Phyllis 😢
Love your videos. I always learn something! I've never seen divinity made ..until now.
Thanks so much for the this video. My Grandmother always made this at Christmas. I have never been a cook but my mother never would attempt this saying hers would never get hard. I wouldn't know why. Your video has made me want to try your recipe. I too make fudge to give for the holidays. This would be such a great gift also. I remember the taste when Granny made it. So good.
Bless your heart- been wanting to try this for ages!
Mr. Bucky's divinity . makes my heart smile.
Ms. Phylis you need to come out with a cookbook, your recipes are fabulous, I love the way you describe everything and your techniques and tips make all the difference in making a successful recipe. Thank you for your videos.
Oh Phyllis this looks delicious!!! My mom use to make this at Christmas this very same way and we loved it... I don't make it. It's too complicated.. Lol But you did a beautiful job! I'm sure Mr B is ecstatic!
I have got to try your divinity. I love this candy. I used to make it all the time. I actually won our County Fair Candy Division with my neighbor's recipe. I used walnuts. If you use them you have to stir them in at the last minute or it will turn the divinity dark. I will try your recipe VERY soon. I think you have become a house hold name here in Arkansas. Love your videos.
I will confess that I had to make this recipe three times before I got it perfect enough to enter the Fair. :)
Hi Phyllis I love watching your videos, you make some awesome food,,😃
Thank you for this video! I just made divinity for the first time and read multiple recipes and watched videos to prepare. Yours was the only one that I saw with the tip to put it in a Pyrex vs portioning out on a baking sheet. Genius! I did that and then used a piece of parchment to smooth it down. I decided to try cutting it before it dries to see if that would work and the knife went through the semi-set confection easily. We’ll see how that works out after it has dried 🤞 But thank you for your great tip and your wonderful voice and commentary. Extremely calming and enjoyable! Happy holidays!
Hi Phyllis! I just wanted to tell you I love watching your videos. I am so happy to see these recipes for divinity and fudge, etc., from scratch. I am 40 years old and have 2 teenage daughters, and so appreciate the fact that you take the time to make these videos. I worry that these traditional recipes are going to be gone with my generation, and I really want to pass all of this on to my daughters. So thank you so much for teaching us how to make them!
I remember my great grandma mixing by hand well into her 60's
I bet you'd love to be making Divinity for Mr. Bucky right now! Miss the sparkle in his eyes when he was in your videos. Hope you are doing as well as can be expected at this time, Miss Phyllis.
Another great video Miss Phyllis! I'm going to make your chocolate walnut fudge tonight... divinity by the weekend! :) Your recipes are amazing... Yep, I'm a fan! I do writing and video editing if you ever want any assistance. Hit me up! I think what makes your videos so great is this... you keep it REAL. You don't pretend to be someone your not to gain likes and subscriptions. Keep it up girl! Love Ya!
Excellent recipe, I live in Seattle and it is gonna rain, so I cooked mine to 160-165 also, on my egg whites, I added my salt to them ( Stabilizes the whites and added a pinch of sugar also ) when I poured the cooked syrup into the whites added vanilla they hardened up for me fast, 2-3 min tops, I poured into my greased pan and they were set up as soon as I was able to pour in and pat flat. I was able to cut almost IMM. Also I did not add nuts. I had no light corn syrup ( CoronaVirus Lockdown ) so I used rogers Golden syrup ( has more of a molasses taste to it, its made with Pure cane sugar ) Absolutely Yummy..
These were so extra fluffy and melt in your mouth, I will never drop them again with spoons, I will always do it Phyllis's way "Brilliant" With the buttered glass pan came out easy, no sticking. Super easy recipe and Best Divinity I have ever made! Divinity is my all time favorite holiday candy and w/lockdown, I was just in the mood for a nice treat, and Boy was this recipe it.... I make them almost every year, but, I did not want to dig out a recipe, so I used yours. WOW!
I have over 1000 hours of cake decorating and Chocolatiering and candy making classes and competitions under by belt and own a restaurant and I have to tell you all, this is a NO FAIL Divinity recipe. Hands down best I have ever had. Thank you Phyllis, I am a fan of yours and I just sub'd to you, so I can see what all you post. Awesome job!
PS: Guys if you cook the Sugar hotter like I did, you will only have 2-3 min mixing time, including anything your adding in or coloring all of that, this sets up fast, if you cook it how Phyllis did, you will totally have more wiggle room...Just a FYI. I am thrilled with mine and how fast it set, but, I added nothing into mine. Super Fluffy yummy good...Thanks again
Phyllis, I love, love, love divinity which is exactly why I hardly ever make it. : )
And I love it just the way you made it....with just pecans. Never have thought to toast the pecans, but I will next time. Thank you!!
I love that you, like me say "pee-can." This eastern NC gal will never say it any other way!!!!!!!!! LOL
Miss her also she was a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul ❤️. Love all your recipes...
It's 2019 miss Phyllis and I came across your divinity fudge video, you made it look so easy thank you I'm going to be making some.
Good morning Phyllis! I'm gathering candy recipe's for Christmas, and I've never made divinity candy, this will look nice for a Christmas gift. I like all your tips. I hope you are doing well. I'll be thinking of how Mr, Buckey loved divinity candy when I make this recipe for Christmas. 🙏🎃🍁🍂💞
Yay! Mr. Bucky got his reward for telling his stories! This looks great, Phyllis. It was my Dad's favorite, but I've never seen it made before.
Woooooooooooow, that looks good!!!!!! So glad your momma shared this. RIP ❤️🌷
Here in Brazil we call it torrone.
Thank You, I just love the way you explain the recipes , so easy for me to follow, you are AWESOME...
Hi! I know this is quite an old video but I have a little tip. For sticky things like corn syrup an easy way to get it out is to spray the cup with cooking spray first, making sure to get up the sides too. It helps a lot!
Or pour your water in cup and stir.
I made it this, this morning came out great! Thanks for showing me what I had been doing wrong.
that looks so good..Its been years since Ive had it.. cant wait to make it now ,,, thanks for sharing...
I was so saddened when you passed away Mrs. Stokes. I had enjoyed watching your videos and obviously i still do😊
My mother has since passed away and now watching this makes me wish I had made her some of this goodness since she enjoyed eating divinity. Hopefully you can make her some now😊
May you both be resting in Jesus's arms 🙏 ❤ 🙏
My condolences 💙🙏🏼
Nicely done, you have a great presentation....the razor blade is a nice touch...Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing!
I enjoy your videos. You seem like someone that I would love to meet.
Me too
Me too!
Me too
I was thinking what a wonderful mother she must have been. She passed away not long ago.
Looks like what my momma used to make. Wish I had some :) ....
I like the pan method rather than the dollop method too. Thank you, I'm going to make it!😊👍
Hello Miss Phyllis, I watched this video some time ago . This last week I decided to make this candy so I watched it again and followed your recipe and it turned out really well. I had never made divinity before so I give the credit for it turning out so well to you. I have tried lots of your recipes and they always turn out. I love your nice voice and find it easy to listen to your instructions . Please keep on with your videos . Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas Miss Phyllis and Mr Bucky and the pups 😊😊
You can do it, Phyllis! I’ll be glad to lick the pan!
It's been years since I've heard of divinity fudge, I do have a recipe for it, but I think I like your recipe better. It was pretty popular in the 1950s - 60s. Looks luscious!!!!
This was one of the few desserts that my Mama made when we were growing up. We all knew we were getting a wonderful treat when she would start making this candy! She called it "Seafoam Candy". Thank you for sharing this recipe; I can't wait to make this.
Yummy, I'm wishing I had some right now. Looks a bit difficult and dangerous to make but I think ill give it a try. Thank you for the detailed video.
I love to watch your recipes Phillis thank you
I love watching you cook. I have made a lot of your recipes and they were fantastic. thank you for your videos Phyllis.
Mouth watering, I am a little afraid, but you make it look easy. Agree about cutting squares. Better method ! Also wanting to see you make some GRAPENUT CUSTARD !!! I make it a couple times a year. Love it, too much ! Love your vlog !!
Looks great! You are so good to Mr. Bucky! =)
I make my Divinity exactly the same way as you and have never worried about the weather being right because as you say it always turns out. Love your channel and watch you quite a lot. Bless you and Mr. Bucky for your morning devotions also; that is also something we do the same as you except we haven't started trying the Smoothies yet but will. God bless Southern cooks, the best in the world and you definitely are one of them.
I miss her and her cosy cooking lessons 😔❤️ hope she is happy were ever she is together with Mister Bucky 🙏
Thank you for teaching me today!!!!
I accidentally found you guys! I just love your videos! I had not seen the fifty's cake recipes and candy since I was in high school!
👍😍It’s gluten free!!! You give me the courage to actually try this recipe!!! Thank you!! Please 🙏🙏🙏let us know how you’re doing. RIP Me. Bucky. 🤗💞🤗🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your recipes and skills.
I miss you Mrs. Phyllis Merry Christmas to you in heaven with the Angels.. you were such a blessing to me even though you never knew me .. 🙏💕
Thank you. I always wanted to make divinity but my mother convinced me it was too finicky. Now I feel that you have prepared we listeners well. I wonder if chopped up gummie candies would work. Guess Ill find out!
