The recipe came off of the back of a bag of pecans produced by the South Georgia Pecan Co. www.georgiapecan.com
Very good pecans. They are great in pancakes as they soften a bit as they get cook in the pancake. I’ve enjoyed them as a quick snack alone, or throw in a bowl drizzled with maple syrup and a dash of salt.

Nuts also taste good mixed with coconut oil, really brings out the flavor. Put a few nuts in you mouth and then a little bit of coconut oil and you will see how this works. A great nut butter can be made by grinding nuts with coconut oil.
