"These are wonderful as a snack, part of a holiday basket, added to salads, as a topping to pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole. They do get pretty sticky if exposed to moisture, my daughter loves them and calls them "sticky nuts." They are HIGHLY addictive, make a lot!"

I tried this recipe and I was a little disappointed with it. I roasted the pecans for 10 minutes at 350 and they burned. The recipe calls to roast them for 12-15 minutes at 350. I think the roasting time should be 5 minutes at the most.

These are fantastic! We had snacked on the honey-roasted pecans we bought at the store, and were out. I googled and found this recipe. They were great in our salad... The only problem we ran into was that they STUCK to the waxed paper, and when we peeled them off they had paper on them. I might try putting a little butter in with the honey.

Love it! Try it with pure maple syrup. It's just as tasty and a lot less messy.

The people that said their pecan burned I think it's because their oven is not working properly. I have done this recipe at least 3 times and never burned my pecans and I leave them in there from the beginning before preheat for 12 minutes and it comes out perfect! I use foil to put it in the oven and use the same foil for cooling, no wax paper.

I too roasted my pecans for 10 minutes and they too burnt! Wish I had read the reviews before roasting and subsequently burning my $9.00/lb pecans. I agree with 5 minutes!
