Fancy Schmancy BUT Easy Peasy... hehehe Use to dress up a cake, add to a filling between cake layers, top a sweet potato casserole or eat them as they are. These are beautiful and delicious. Fantabulously awesome with my Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting #165880 and/or my Praline Sauce #165874. The Pecan is the TEXAS state NUT! Hmmmm.... I thought that was my dh!....

1/2 cup (change servings and units)

No Orange Juice? I used Cranberry Juice and added some cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Fabulous for the Shortcake Bar I made for the 4th of July.

    This is so easy to do. I used almost 1 cup of whole pecans for the quantity of brown sugar and orange juice. That was perfect. Thanks Hope. Made for Beverage tag.

    Absolutely delicious and SUPER EASY! I forgot to bring the recipe downstairs with me and winged it, ending up with 1 1/2 cups of pecans and a half cup brown sugar and only 1 tablespoon OJ. I added a pinch of salt to bring out the flavor more. Even if you mess it up like I did, it's still delicious and probably doesn't taste any different. To cool them I tossed them with forks on a plate for a minute until they stopped sticking together. They're so irresistable some of them mysteriously disappeared while they were still cooling! *great with a pinch of salt, drop of vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon added!

    These were wonderful and quick and easy! Next time I think I will double the whole recipe because my boys liked them too and didn't leave enought for me!
