HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN CANDIED PECANS
Candied Pecans are always a good idea.
This is an easy, delicious recipe for candied pecans. We love these pecans as a snack and they make great gifts for friends or relatives when you want to show someone you are thinking of them or just do a good deed. They are wonderful on ice cream, put them in dessert recipes or add to salads. You won’t be able to stop eating them and they make your house smell wonderful while baking. I could eat them until I make myself sick. They keep well for weeks in an airtight container.
Candied pecans make a great gift anytime!
