About

This delectable treat is similar to penuche fudge, in which brown sugar is the main flavouring. In this modern twist, yogurt is used in place of double (heavy) cream for a lighter, tangier flavour. Do not use Greek (US strained plain) yogurt in this recipe. For instructions on toasting pecans at home, see Pecan Toffees.
