Tips and Notes 

  • Substitutions: If pecans aren’t your thing, you could just replace them with whatever your favorite nut is! I’ve made these with almonds many times before, also.
  • Serving idea: These make a yummy snack on their own, but are also make a delicious addition to a salad.

    Your little helper is adorable! I never can resist buying these at the little kiosks – the smell is too overwhelming to say NO – even though they are so expensive for a tiny bag, ha ha. I’m so glad to have my own recipe now! Thanks, Ashlyn!
