Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pecans


Let's go nuts, for nuts! These pecans taste more like candy than anything (be careful, they are dangerous...). Not only are they a tasty snack, they can be used to cheer up a salad, top ice cream, compliment a trail mix--the list goes on and on! 

Try gifting them for a party, your friends and family won't be sorry!
