These were very quick and easy to make. They are also very quick and easy to eat! They reminded me of pralines, but a bit richer. I might try adding a little cinnamon and vanilla next time. Not they needed any additions, but just to give them a different taste. Thanks for posting. -
I made these as a snack for Christmas. We couldn't stop popping these things in our mouths. This is a great recipe. -
So good, just can't quit eating them once I start! -
These are absolutely fantastic! I made these to include in a dinner salad but had plenty leftover to use as snacks. I did have quite a bit leftover "sauce" so I think next time I may try even going up to 5 cups of pecans.
