Sugared Pecans Recipe

Sugared Pecans are a tasty little snack. Yummy spices, butter and sugars create an easy treat! Perfect for gift-giving, too!

The thing I love about these sugared pecans, aside from the fact that they are totally addicting and yummy, is that they’re made in a slow cooker. This means easy! This super easy snack is great to have in a bowl for grazing during holiday gatherings.

They are also a perfect gift. Throw some into a mason jar and tie a ribbon around it!
