Well, in case you haven’t guessed, I love sweets and desserts. I love them so much that have to make sure that I don’t over do it, like the time my parents told me not to eat all the Halloween candy the first night and I did….Ugh. When I do have sweets I usually like them to be very sugary. Go big or go home right? Take these cinnamon sugar pecans for example, they use real sugar and are the definition of delicious.
There are so many ways and times to enjoys these delicious cinnamon sugar pecans. I love to add them to salads, have them as a snack or put them out for guests at a party. I actually gave them to a friend recently along with her baby shower gift and she loved them. You can also store them in an airtight jar for up to 3-4 weeks without loosing any of the wonderful flavor.
Enjoy!
