Oo-ey, Goo-ey goodness. With nuts. Whoa. I am a novice candy maker. Made fudge once this past Xmas and then pralines also that same time. So I'm not 100% sure I did everything the best I could. I used a candy thermometer and cooked the mixture until the thermometer registered at the firm ball stage. That took almost a half hour for me to cook the candy to that point. Perhaps I should have turned the heat up higher on my stove sooner? Dunno. (Total time was about 40 minutes.) I decided to just drop the candies onto wax paper, but now we're having some real difficulties getting them off the paper without the paper sticking to them and tearing and staying stuck on. Next time I'll try something else. But geez, they are good. Thanks for the recipe. Will definitely make again. I got 33 candies from the batch.
