I love this recipe. I have been making it for years. I found it in an old candy cookbook. They are definitely sweet, but it's candy, what do you expect. And make sure you use sweetened condensed milk not evaporated, because yes, there is a difference. Just a suggestion, in my recipe it says to use ground coconut too. I just put both the pecans and coconut together in the food processor and grind them both. This makes the berries form a little easier.

Thank you for posting this recipe. I made this when I was in grade school (over 30 years ago) and wanted to make it again but didn't know where to find the recipe.

Love that this recipe is posted here. As a child, my neighbor always made these very sweet treats and I remember sneaking one with her permission before her New Year's Eve party every year. What a great memory... I love how food inspires warm memories... add these to your heritage! Thank you, Marlys Loree for making meaningful memories in my life!

Made these last easter and those who liked them, really liked them. I thought they were a little bit strange tasting. Will make again if asked, but probably not choose them myself.

These look beautiful. As far as taste, they are not bad. Verrry sweet though. The grainy texture makes me feel like I am chewing pure sugar. This recipe makes a loooot of strawberries. I am not sure I will make these again, but they were a cute and novel little treat.

I didn't like these. I thought they were WAY too sweet and I really didn't care for the texture.

ok these are just plain weird! They taste like some kind of step is missing or something. If you really want to make something like this stick with almond paste. Just too weird.

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.
