Pecan Fondant image

I love to cook and was well-taught by my mother, who always made cute confections for Christmas. These candies are a holiday tradition in my home. It seems I can never make enough, so it's a good thing they're simple to assemble.

This fondant was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best fondant he's ever had. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time I make it.

This fondant was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, more airy texture. However, the flavor was very good. I would probably try a different recipe next time.
