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!....

Addictive tasty things. I made these as double batch with a pinch of salt added and baked them for 12 minutes as indicated, I think my oven is a bit wacky they were a tiny bit too dark so I think 11 minutes would be perfect. If I make these another time I don't think they need the salt.

Very quick and yummy! Used mixed nuts instead of just pecans and turned out well!

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!
