Were these the ones made with confectioner's sugar, coconut, walnuts, and condensed milk? We used to call them Martha Washingtons, I think. Haven't made them since high school!
My grandmother used to make the best divinity. I attempted a batch last night, and it came out like blobs of marshmallow fluff with pecans on top.
Anyone have any tips, or a recipe they can share?
