Candied Pecans
For as long as I can remember I’ve been making Candied Pecans. I make them to have around the house when company is coming, add them to salads, as toppings for desserts or just to eat them plain – they’re so good! I especially love giving the Candied Pecans as a holiday gift, packaged in cellophane bags tied with colorful ribbons.
If you’ve never made Candied Pecans this simple recipe takes no time at all. Once made look out – your family will gobble them up in minutes, literally!
Here’s the recipe…..make a batch for Thanksgiving, everyone will be thrilled you did.
