Around here, they are less expensive than pecans! Deb, have you ever made this same recipe with walnuts? Around here, they are less expensive than pecans!

I have used them to make my daughter's favorite sweet nuts for years. PS thanks so very much for the gluten free. I have been trying to find things for my youngest child and it is often a real challenge.

I ate them plain, and put some in a carrot cake i baked, instead of salad. oops! made them last week! awesome, except i’m not much of a spicy person so i used cinnamon instead of cayenne.

Delicious! Love the spicy kick! I lined my baking sheet with parchment paper instead of oiling it so when I took them out of the oven, all I needed to do was remove the parchment paper from the sheet and separate the pecans. No transferring to foil needed! Just made a batch of these with honey instead of corn syrup. Delicious! Love the spicy kick!

I up the cayenne to 1/4 tsp and when you pair that spicy nut with white chocolate, it is heaven. I have cute little candy molds where I place the nut then melted chocolate. White chocolate seems best for some reason. I always make three batches of nuts, but I learned that the recipe does not "double" well. Just make three separate batches. BTW, I am new to the site, but positively addicted. I find it fun to see how many of the recipes you review I have actually made!

Crazy good stuff!

I used all the ingredients in this recipe (but swapped brown sugar for white), but also added a pinch of cinnamon and smoked paprika. To make cleanup easier, I dumped all the topping ingredients into a big glass measuring cup, zapped it to reduce the viscosity, then dumped the pecans in to mix. I poured it out on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and put it in the oven. Afterward, I separated the nut pieces on the same piece of foil, and I didn't have any issues with sticking.
