Baya's Spicy Holiday Pecans ~ 4 Ingredients!

Jump to Recipe
These mildly spicy, crunchy Pecans bring back the fondest memories of the Holidays with my husband's Grandmother, Baya. She used to make these delicious Pecan treats during Thanksgiving and Christmas for guests to snack on. I make sure to always have a batch or two baking in the oven during the Holidays to fill the house with warm, spicy fragrances. These Pecans also make the perfect Gifts! I hope you, your friends and family enjoy them as much as we do ๐Ÿ™‚
