If you’re looking for the recipe behind “Old-Fashioned Orange Candy – A Sweet Nostalgic Treat You’ll Love,” there are actually several versions of this candy. One version uses orange-slice candies, powdered sugar, and pecans for a soft, chewy nostalgic treat.

Easy chewy version
Ingredients
1 package orange-slice candies
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Chopped pecans
Method
Warm the orange-slice candies briefly in the microwave—just enough to soften them.
Place them between parchment or wax paper and roll them flat.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
Press chopped pecans into the softened candy.
Let them cool and firm up, then cut into bite-size pieces.
Store in an airtight container.
The key is not overheating the candy; you only want it pliable enough to flatten and shape.
