  • Be sure to toast the pecans before using them. This will enhance their flavor.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the candy is done. To do this, drop a small amount of the candy into a bowl of cold water. If the candy forms a soft ball, it is done.
  • Be careful not to overcook the candy. If it is overcooked, it will be hard and brittle.
  • Let the candy cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
