Spiced Pecans
Y’all know that looks good! I hate pralines, but I love spiced pecans! They are so yummy that when I make a batch, they are gone within a day or two.
This recipe comes from my Grandmother’s kitchen. She has made them at Christmas, for as long as I can remember! These, Irish Potato Candy, and Divinity are my absolute favorite homemade candies. Do you have a favorite candy?
