Okay, twice I tried this recipe from the bag of pecans:

1 lb bronw sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 tbl light corn syrup

Combine sugar corn syrup and whipping cream in 8 cup measuring cup (okay didn't
follow this I used a big glass bowl) - microwave on high 13 min.

Then add 1 Tbl butter and 2 cups chopped pecans, beat until creamy, drop by
teasponfuls on waxed paper.

So the first time I did this, I used filled two wax paper lined baking pans.
The 2nd pan I filled turned out, but the first ones stayed sticky and never
turned that more creamy color. So I thought maybe I didn't beat it enough,
tried it a second time and the same result. The last half of the batch turned
out. First part didn't. KInd of expensive to screw up half a recipe here.
Any suggestions what I did wrong?

Please don't yell at me for using the microwave - I don't like to make candy
that involves thermometers and dropping candy into ice water. I have a hard
enough time nuking it.
