Blasphemy!
But just in case you’re looking for a fun sweet treat to bring to a holiday party this season and don’t want to bring the same ol’ gingerbread cookies, I thought you might enjoy one of my favorite recipes for pumpkin pie spiced pecans!
They’re really easy to make and only require four ingredients, most of which you probably have around the house already.
But be warned… these disappear in no time at all. We’re talking under five minutes when my family is around.
Pumpkin Pie Spiced Pecans
Makes 1 1/2 cups pecans (Recipe may easily be doubled or tripled)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cup pecans
Directions

Sounds like a great idea!! I had actually been researching recipes for spiced nuts to make as an appetizer for our family get-together tomorrow, but then I nixed the idea and went with my husband’s favorite buffalo chicken dip instead haha! 😉
