In reply to Marilla Rapp. It might be hard to switch but you could certainly give it a try.

With respect to the nurtimill artiste. Would it make sense to switch from the whisks to the dough hooks for the final mixing of the divinity fudge?

In reply to Barbara Schieving. Our whisk broke this year too. I have removed the references to the Nutrimill mixer. Again sorry for the frustration!

In reply to Grace Capuano. That's so frustrating Grace. Have you contacted the company? The divinity does get really thick and most hand mixers have a hard time, the motor gets bogged down, but you wouldn't expect the beater to break.

The problem with the nutrimill artiste mixer was the the mixer, but rather the whisk attachments themselves. I just got my mixer and the whisk attachments broke when the divinity started to thicken. My 25 yr old kitchen aid hand held mixer, has nice study whisks, and would of done the job. Disappointed, I really wanted to like this mixer. This was the first time using it too.

In reply to Nora Mitchell. It really is a workhorse, especially great for making a double batch or rolls.

I’m eyeing that Artiste with growing envy. How can I persuade them to send me one? 😄

Seriously, I gave up my huge stand mixer when I downsized to an apartment with limited space, but my hand mixer was nearly killed while making royal icing at Christmastime and I’ve been pricing stand mixers again ever since.

I’ve made divinity from a Betty Crocker cookbook I received as a wedding gift 46 years ago. I had tried a couple of different recipes and they were total failures. It tasted good enough, but never did set up. We always had to use a spoon to eat it. That all changed when I tried Betty’s recipe and as they say, the rest is history. I make it every Christmas as the family demands it. I make several batches; some with nuts and some without. Also use a drop or two of red and green cake coloring to different batches to make it more festive. It’s great to give as gifts to neighbors and friends. I’ve found a lot of women are intimidated to make divinity. If you can make fudge, you can make divinity. It’s just part of celebrating the season at our house. One can’t go wrong with this great recipe.
