OLD FASHIONED ORANGE CANDY

So, I was at our little bitty, local IGA yesterday—love this store–and ran across the old fashioned candies I remember from childhood. Frankly, I never liked the taste but I LOVE the smell so I bought some. They smell like Christmas to me.
As I was talking to the checker, she told me this recipe.

I’ve yet to try it, but it’s simple and yummy looking and adds a festive attitude to the plain old forerunner to gummy bears. Let me know if you try it.

Ingredients :
Orange slice candies
Powdered sugar
Pecans, chopped or ground

Preparation :
Put candy in microwavable bowl and microwave until soft. Twenty seconds is plenty in my microwave.
Immediately, place the candy between slices of plastic wrap, waxed paper or parchment paper and roll out until flat. Dip in powdered sugar and then in pecans.
Let cool and enjoy!

YUM UPDATE:
A marvelous Facebook friend gave me an even better idea! Cut the orange slices in half lengthwise and dip in melted dark chocolate. Oh, yeah!
