I have been looking for a recipe for these for a while now. I followed the recipe exactly, and they were delicious!

My Great Aunt Bert always made these so I have continued the tradition every Christmas. I shape mine into strawberry shapes, roll the bottom in red sugar and then dip the top in green. Very festive and the taste is out of this world. So much better than almond paste. Just make sure to grind your pecans very well almost make a pecan meal. HAPPY EATING.

Very fun recipe! I had left over green colored chocolate from Christmas candy and sliced off slivers to use for the strawberry tops. That worked well. I decorated a cake (lemon and strawberry marbled) with leaves and then placed candy strawberries on top for beautiful spring cake. Definitely allow plenty of time for chilling so the candy isn't too sticky to work with. I didn't have colored sugar so just rolled in white sugar to give a little sparkle. The strawberries were very popular!

I love this recipe my grandmother had it in one of her old Utility Company cookbooks, we made them every year together. They always look so pretty!! Update! This year I used different flavored gelatins and just shaped them into small balls. They turned out fabulous!

GORGEOUS! If you are even curious about these, then you MUST make them. They are so adorable and delicious. I made these along with several other candies for a small Christmas get together and these were such a hit. People thought they were real strawberries rolled in sugar! They were real converstation pieces as I was repeatedly asked how I made them. I told the story of how this was an old recipe I someone posted to AllRecipes and so many people thanked the poster that I had to try it. I am going to make them again next week before my parents and grandma come down to see us. These are the greatest thing, because they seem to be rarely made and unexpected-- older people remember them from their childhood and little kids are pretty excited about them, too. All around good stuff. I followed the recipe word for word and it made gorgeous, gemlike little strawberries. While you may not need all the things in the original recipe, I highly, highly recommend it. The ground walnuts/pecans add such an unusual texture. I put chopped nuts in the food processor and ran the blade on them until they were about the same as ground coffee and that seemed perfect. The green dyed almond slivers are just great for stems. All I did was put a handful of almond slivers in a little bowl and stirred in a few drops of green food coloring until they were coated. Just a great recipe. This is my new Christmas tradition!

Perfect little addition to a holiday "sweets" platter. I lost the recipe, so thanks for submitting!! They are very sweet, and very cute little treats. It's a recipe my kids will really enjoy making!!

A nice idea but it's just too sweet.

We made hundreds of these for my wedding reception (a tradition in my husband's family). Everyone loves them. You can also use orange gelatin and shape them into oranges.

sweeeeeeeeet!

Wonderful!! I am so glad I found this recipe. My grandmother made these every Christmas, and I have missed them! Thanks for posting it!!

LOUSY!!! Says it all. Even my sugar hungry kids said they were "yucky". There is nothing worse than puting so much time and effort into a recipe and having the end result come out so bad. Looked pretty but tasted like pure sugar.

is there a substitute for the coconut? both my children are allergic to it but this recipe sounds great!

This recipe is WONDERFUL! My family was skeptical with the ingrediants, but all loved them. They do not last long though. I suggest doubling the recipe. Very pretty and tasty. Absolutly love them and will make many times over. Perfect for a beggining candy maker. Thank you for the recipe.

i may have messed this up -- i used evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed -- is there a difference? I chilled these a long time, and they never reached a consistency that i could form anything with. not runny - but not firm either.

This IS the recipe that I was looking for! It is just as good as I remember! (And my grandchildren love it as much as I do.) Thank you so much for printing it for me!

These were very pretty, easy and good. I colored the almonds then toasted them. The food coloring didn't get all over my hands and the "stems" tasted great

Thank you for posting this recipe. I love this one. It makes a great accent to any cookie tray and they taste great too! You can modify this by leaving out the ground pecans and almonds. Use green prepared icing from a pastry tube as the strawberry's hulls (leaves).

Thank you so much for posting this recipe. When I was a child, my neighbor use to always make these around the holidays. I've wanted the recipes for years, but never knew how to find it. These are the most wonderful, sweetest little treats around. What a great texture!!! Thank you again!!!!!
