Believed to have originated in the early 1900s, this treat can be traced to its current form in a recipe dating to 1915. Another earlier version, which included the use of milk, can be traced about eight years earlier, or 1907.
One of the proposed theories for its origins is that in the early 20th century, corn syrup (a major ingredient) was just coming into its own as a popular sugar substitute. New recipes for its use were being frequently created by the major manufacturers, one of which may have been divinity.
The origins of the name are not clear. The most popular theory is simply that when first tasted, someone declared it to be, "Divine!" and the name stuck.
Divinity has at times been referred to as a "Southern candy", most likely because of the frequent use of pecans in the recipe. Apparently it made its way North quickly, and today is considered a standard recipe in most cookbooks
