No, I never have. I think they really need the pecans or they would probably be too sweet without them.

Annie-I’m curious if you have made these without the pecans? My mother in law would love these, but can’t eat nuts. I didn’t know if maybe you had tried a few without nuts since I’ve seen you post that you’re not a big nut fan. If you have, how did it work?

Hi Amanda,
I hope my response isn’t too late. I really don’t know how long it will take with a hand mixer, since I don’t even have a set time it takes with a stand mixer. It really is just the particular look you are trying to achieve (thickening up and losing its gloss). I’m not sure how long that will take. Good luck!
:) Annie

These look delicious! I always am a bit of a wuss when it comes to candy making but I’m going to give these a try.

Annie – if I don’t have a stand up mixer, ..just the old fashioned electric hand mixer, how long do you think it should be and at what speed. I am definitly going to make this for my family TODAY! I love it!
Thank you for sharing your ideas…you are a God send on so many nights that I don’t know what to make. Happy Thanksgiving :)

These remind me of the maple candies that my family picked up during our annual trip to Canada. I’ll have to make this version!
