From Mandi of the MountainsBy Cindy Pascale“Oh, is that good! It tastes just like pecan pie!” said my husband when I first made the candied pecans for him. This is a big compliment seeing that pecan pie is his favorite holiday pie.These pecans are perfect for a charcuterie board, salad topping, or mixed into yogurt, ice creamand oatmeal. They also make a fantastic hostess gift!(In our house we call them "Cindy's crack candied pecans" they are that GOOD)~Liz Berg
