This recipe blends pecans, butter, sugar, and milk to perfection, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
These have a smooth, creamy texture that melts in your mouth. The contrast between the smooth candy and the crunch of the pecans is perfect.

4
Let the confection cool, undisturbed, for about 2 to 4 minutes.
