We lost our old family recipe and did an online search and found the recipe here! We made these and it was exactly as I remember growing up. We use almonds walnuts and pecans so it resembles my childhood!

Weird recipe...cooking in butter like that. BUT HEY!! What totally addicting results! I need to stop eating these before ....umm...before they're all gone! Very easy with totally satisfying results. Still a weird cooking method, tho. Made for ZWT9, Mike & the Appliance Killers.

We love pecans and this recipe is a great way of serving pecans. Easy to make to boot! Made for ZWT9 and "The Apron String Travelers"

Oh my...these are soooooooooo good and totally addicting. I used Splenda granulated sugar and added a couple tablespoons of Splenda brown sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon. It took a little longer whipping it to stiff peaks, but they turned out perfectly. Once you pop one into your mouth you can't stop eating them. I will be making these often in the future. Made for May 2012 Aus/NZ Swap.

I made these for my holiday table and everyone loved them. I followed the recipe as written.
