Oh my goodness, these are so good! I saw the idea in a book, but no recipe, so I found an Emeril recipe for spiced nuts and modified it. They turned out so delicious, and they are just perfect for this time of year!
| Here is what you need: |
2 cups of raw nuts (I used 1 cup of pecan halves and 1 cup of whole almonds.)
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
pinch or two of salt
Toast the nuts in a dry pan for about 5 minutes over medium low heat, while stirring so they don’t burn.
When done, pour them into a separate container. Put all the rest of the ingredients in your hot pan, (Be CAREFUL with the water; it spatters.) and stir for about 2 minutes till it thickens.
Pour the nuts back in the pan and stir well while cooking for 2 minutes more.
Then pour the nuts onto a foil lined cookie sheet, spreading them out, and let sit till cooled.
You’re ready to enjoy! They are so good and not easy to stop eating!
Keep in a sealed container.
Hope you try them!

Hey!
Just wanted to let you know that over at createlive, we’re just finishing up a pumpkin recipe series called “The 12 Days of Pumpkins.” For the next few days, we’ll be hosting a link-up, featuring any recipes involving pumpkin, and will be choosing a good number of these recipes to have their own page (which can include your blog name and URL!) in a pumpkin cookbook! Just thought you might be interested in the additional press or being included in a cookbook – and this is a really great recipe! Find the link up here!
Have a great one

These look amazing! I didn’t think pecans could get any tastier, but I think you’ve succeeded in making them so. I also love how simple this recipe is. I would serve these with Thanksgiving appetizers.
That sounds absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to try these.
Saw you on Between Naps on the Porch!
YUM!! Can’t wait to try these! I’m visiting from the NJAH linky party, I hope you’ll pop by and say hello!

thanks for sharing, I bookmarked this recipe. Looks delicious!
I made these with a different spice combination last year. I think I found the recipe in a Martha Stewart book or magazine. Boy are they yummy, and addictive!
YUMMM!
I would love for you to link up your creation at http://www.jaqsstudio.com/2011/10/jaqs-studio-first-ever-linky-party.html
That sounds great! Pinning the recipe!
I just made them and wow are they good! I subbed extra virgin coconut oil for the butter and stevia for the brown sugar (to make me feel less guilty for eating all of them by myself) and they’re still delicious!
These look wonderful! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Just wwant to let you know I have made these nuts so many times–they are easy and always turn out great. I often give them for gifts. Thanks for sharing!
