These taste wonderful, albeit extremely rich. It's sorta an alternative to fudge. The pecans really make it (I toasted mine first for added flavor. The recipe doesn't include salt, which I think is critical in a super sweet recipe like this. Add 1/4 tsp to the sugar mixture. Use a good thermometer and when that baby hits 250, slowly pour it into the egg whites. Even with my heavy-duty kitchen aid mixer, it probably took 10 minutes of whipping on the highest speed to get it to the proper consistency and that was in low humidity. Also, I put mine in a 9x13 greased pan. There was no way I was handling those sticky little suckers one by one. It is a god awful sticky mess, so be prepared, but worth it.
