There are so many ways to make candied pecans and nuts. This year I thought hey, I’m gonna make candied pecans even more festive! Adding a touch of pumpkin pie spice to the maple-glazed nuts did the trick.
These candied pecans are also awesome because they’re easy to make, are great for snacking, make delicious gifts (which I plan on doing thanks to all the holiday themed treat boxes I ordered online) and look impressive as a garnish.
