I used red seedless grapes cut in half in place of the dried cranberries - my fiancé says this is award-winning chicken salad!

I made this last night - our guests didn't stop talking about it the entire time they were here!!! I used 1 small package of vanilla pudding and 1 small package of banana pudding - I used 1.5 cups of cold whole and 1.5 cups of cold heavy cream - I didn't use the whole can of condensed milk - and I used the extra creamy cool-whip. I used my stand mixer and beat this on high so it whipped up the heavy cream and made for a really yummy whipped, creamy texture! I used my trifle dish which resulted in 2 layers of vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding. I've uploaded a picture - it was beautiful! THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!

An awful experience for someone who has a lot of experience making fudge and other similar candies!!! I had never made Panocha (or Penuche) so I decided to try this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and everything appeared to going perfectly. After my candy cooled down to 110, I added the vanilla and started beating it. Just as it started to lose its shine, I added the pecans and it seemed to come together perfectly. As soon as I got ready to spread the candy, it turned to a dry, crumbly, sugary mess!!! Please enlighten me and tell me what I could have done differently. I tasted the dry, crumbly, sugary mess and was able to tell that had it turned out correctly, it would have tasted delicious! I would love to make this recipe again but not until someone explaines to me what I did wrong.
