Tried this yesterday, using cream instead of milk. Also, used about 1 1/2 c. pecans, chopped because pecans are SOOO expensive! :)
They are REALLY YUMMY!
We did use a candy thermometer and tested by dropping a little into cold water, for soft ball stage.
It took a bit longer to cook then it specifies here. Probably twice the cook time. Be patient!
If you drop them when you think it's getting harder to stir, they will spread out more than if you keep stirring to a thicker stage, which is what we did. At that point you can scoop them with a tiny cookie scoop and they will hold their shape more like little balls of praline.
They remind me so much of See's butterscotch squares and I think would be DELISH if you dipped them in chocolate! Mmm!
