A Classic Favorite: Old-Fashioned Orange Candy
1. A Taste of Tradition
This old-fashioned orange candy brings back memories of “homemade treats, handwritten recipes,
and the sweet scent of citrus in the kitchen.” Soft, chewy, and lightly sweet, it reflects the comfort of holiday tables and classic candy shops.
2. Simple, Classic Ingredients
Unlike many modern sweets, it uses just a few basics: orange slice candies, powdered sugar, and pecans. The result blends chewy citrus flavor with a gentle crunch and light sugar coating.
3. Easy to Make
To prepare, soften the candies in the microwave, roll them flat between parchment paper, coat with powdered sugar and
chopped pecans, and let them cool until firm. It’s quick, simple, and great for gifting. Variations with lemon, cherry, or lime add color and flavor.
4. More Than Candy
As the recipe says, it represents “tradition, togetherness, and simple homemade joy” — a sweet reminder of the past in every bite.
