      Don’t be mad at me hunny! LOL. It sounds like you didn’t cook it long enough, or you didn’t let the candy mixture get hot enough.

ROSY, WHEN YOUR FANS TELL YOU THE PECAN PRALINE CANDY DID NOT FIRM UP,”TELL THEM IT IS A NICE CHEWY CANDY, FIRMS UP ONLY ENOUGH TO PICK IT UP.WHEN YOU BUY PECAN, THEY ARE CHEWY. AND SOFT/ PRALINES ARE NOT FIRM OR HARD
I AM TRYING YOUR RECIPE AND WILL LET YOU KNOW THE RESULTS..
