Grandaddy's Christmas Divinity image

My grandfather made this wonderful divinity for our family every Christmas for as long as anyone can remember. I should mention that the recipe is a bit "weather-dependent"; don't make it on a rainy, damp day... It won't set up quite right unless the atmosphere is reasonably dry.
