This vintage favorite combines chewy citrus flavor with the gentle crunch of pecans and a light powdered sugar coating. It’s easy to make, perfect for gifting, and can even be customized using lemon, cherry, or lime candies for colorful variations.
To prepare, soften orange slice candies briefly in the microwave, roll them flat between parchment paper, coat with powdered sugar and chopped pecans, then let them cool until firm. The result is a sweet, chewy treat full of old-fashioned charm.
More than just candy, this recipe represents tradition, togetherness, and simple homemade joy — a small, sweet reminder of the past wrapped in every bite.
