I can never make these work, but I'm pretty sure that's me and not the recipe. They still taste wonderful though.

These turned out really good, except a little stiff but really good flavor.

Very nice recipe, but requires some experience to reach a good outcome. I recommend taking the candy mixture to 240 F. Once you remove it from heat, stir just enough to have the mixture begin to thicken. (DO NOT over-stir at this point or you'll end up with crumbs! Delicious, but not very presentable.) Immediately pour onto a Silpat. Allow to cool completely without disturbing. Then cut or break apart into pieces. I would also increase the amount of pecans to about 2 cups.

Wow, these were easier than I thought. I only made half the recipe to test it. I didn't have a candy thermometer, nor did I do the cold water test. I just kind of guessed and it came out perfect. I poured the batch into half a foil lined cake pan to about 1/4 inch thick. Let it cool, then broke it into pieces. Will definitely be making this again, and will be making the full amount next time!

Yummy is an understatement! These remind me of the ones my mama use to make! I followed the advice of several reiviewers and used 2 cups of pecans. Perfect

My kids are LOVIN' them. I use 1 1/2 cup white to 1/2 cup brown sugar and right before I stir, just a pinch of salt keeps it from being too sweet! We also put two large 'dollops' of peanut butter and make them peanut butter pralines! Yummy...

Great, although I should have used halved pecans instead of pieces. I served these on a small dish on the desert bar at my holiday dinner and they were scooped up quick!
