Making a quick and delicious Christmas treat just got a whole lot easier with this Cinnamon Pecan recipe from “What’s Cookin’ at First Security Vol. 2.” Sweet and salty with a lot of crunch, these classic cinnamon roasted pecans are a holiday staple. Give them as a thoughtful hostess gift or serve them up with appetizers on your next charcuterie board. Either way, they will disappear quickly!
But readers be ready…I couldn’t stop eating them. Plus, they made my house smell amazing! They had me calling out to “Alexa” to play my Christmas playlist. So go ahead, grab some pecan halves from an Arkansas pecan farm and make some of these delightfully tasty Cinnamon Pecans.
Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips
- This is the perfect easy make-ahead Christmas candy.
- These Cinnamon Pecans don’t require many tips. Once cooled, store in an airtight container until ready to eat.
- It’s such an easy recipe to prepare. It took me 5 minutes to prep, and they were ready for the oven. Get these started first then move on to preparing your next candy. You’ll only have to pause to stir the pecans.
- Another one of my favorites about this Holiday recipe is I already had all the ingredients except the pecans. Stop by your local stand and buy whole pecans in shells to crack yourself to save a little money.
