I wonder if cranking up the heat in the house a bit will help with the relative humidity and the separation.

I had issues with Divinity earlier - it was carmelizing before it got to the right stage (softball, I think). In my case, I just decreased the temp and let it take longer to get to temperature, and it seemed to work (And then I beat it too long and it was hard and got thrown out anyway).

So maybe adjusting the stove temp to speed/slow the progression to the right temp might help?

Precisely what I did. I made a roaring fire in the fireplace, switched the heat pump over to oil(sorry Earth), and even put a space heater in the kitchen. I then turned on all burners and both ovens for a few minutes before starting my batch...basically I turned the kitchen into Arizona.

Success

Thanks everyone for all the tips.......

The Fry's Valley of Temptation is a horrible place- especially when they have Red Vines, and Ghiradelli Caramel filled Chocolates RIGHT AT EYE LEVEL!

I've no doubt. But if you start passing store bought they'll stop asking you to make them. Of course, you run the risk of them not noticing and that would be a crushing blow.

Divinity candies... OMG... I haven't had those in such a long time.

Yum.

So, when's my box of Almond Roca showing up?

I may have to go buy some...
