Addictive Toasty Pecans Recipe

These addictive toasty pecans are a holiday tradition passed down from Mrs. Iris Harvey Peel! Nana, my husband's mother, makes a batch every Christmas using Georgia's finest pecans, and they're simply irresistible. The secret family recipe, originally from a Georgia newspaper, results in perfectly crunchy, sweet, and salty pecans that are perfect for gifting or enjoying yourself. They have an incredibly long shelf life when stored in an airtight container, making them ideal for holiday baking and snacking all season long!
