This recipe was a complete disaster! The candies turned out hard and crumbly.

These candies were a bit too sticky for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the candies to set. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These candies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. They turned out great!
