Very good and easy to make. I had some pecans laying around so decided to give this recipe a try. I followed the recipe exactly as written. Loved them. -
My family loved this recipe....and they generally don't care for pecans! Kudos! -
I made 2 batches of this - sent some to the teachers & neighbors. Very easy to make and it's very clear when they are dry & done. As others have stated, they aren't overly sweet, they're just right. -
This recipe is perfect - I doubled the cinnamon only because it is my favourite spice. Fantastic and so easy to complete! The pecans are not too sweet and great to use as hostess gifts.

This recipe is awesome! I added a little to it. I used 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon of allspice, a pinch of nutmeg, and I used 1/2 regular sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. It was really easy and turned out so tasty!

I live in Louisiana and am the office manager for a plant nursery. Love to cook. My favorite cookbook is New Southern Living by Nathalie Dupree. If I had a month off I would finish testing all of my new recipes.
I have been testing quite a few of the new ones I have found on Recipezaar. There are a lot of great cooks here.
