Honey-Pecan Candy image

This is one of those heaven-on-earth experiences. This recipe was taken from epicurious.com and was originally used as a pumpkin pie garnish....but it is so amazing and so easy by itself that I just HAD TO share it here! I think it would be a PERFECT addition to any holiday tray. CAUTION: This is very addictive. it is common to consume mass quantities in one sitting. be warned!! :)

This candy is really good, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead. The candy still turned out great! I'm so glad I found this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my candy turned out too hard. I think I may have cooked it for too long.
