These are exactly what I needed. Less sweet than at Silver Dollar City or candy store, but that’s ok with me. I subbed Smart Balance for butter and added a bit more cinnamon- If I make again I will add a little nutmeg too. I baked longer because I doubled the recipe- just stirred each time. The pecans tell you when they are done- the way they smell and dry out a bit. Perfect! Thanks for the recipe!

Received these as a gift and wanted to make more, only did not realize
Salt measurement was for kosher salt only:( Way toooo salty.

Love these so much! I’ve been making these every year since this recipe came out. I put them in cute baggies w/ ties and give them out to co-workers and friends at Christmas time. Everyone loves them and talks about them!

FWIW worked beautifully without a fat of any kind! Because I forgot about the butter until it was too late lol. Still came out amazing, everything else followed to a T!

It’s December 22nd and I’ve almost reached my limit for anything kitchen related. I thought I’d give these a try since they seemed quick and didn’t require a lot of prep or clean-up. Oh my—these pecans did not disappoint! So delicious. I only made a half batch but I’ll definitely be putting these pecans on my year-round snack list. Thanks, Kate

These are delicious. However they are extremely salty and I only added 1/2 the salt the recipe called for. I used bourbon barrel aged maple syrup.

I’ve made this recipe multiple times, always with rave reviews. An occasional twist to the recipe, I use bourbon barrel aged maple syrup. I must exercise great restraint when I finish the batch so I’ll have enough to share. Upon second thought, sharing is overrated… GREAT RECIPE!
