I found this recipe in an old candy cookbook. If your looking for something a little different and not made with chocolate, then this is a good recipe to try.

24 balls (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut
1 3/4 cups cooked pumpkin (15 oz can)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups chopped pecans

Directions

1
Combine the sugar, coconut, and pumpkin in a heavy medium saucepan.
2
Place over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
3
Continue cooking, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and forms a ball, 15-20 minutes.
4
Stir in the vanilla.
5
Place the cooked mixture into a bowl and set aside to cool. Cover the surface with plastic wrap or wax paper to avoid a skin forming.
6
Roll 1 Tablespoon of the mixture into balls between your palms. Roll the balls in the chpped pecans.
7
Store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.
8
