A Thanksgiving Snack in a Snap
When it comes to Thanksgiving, we love it all. Bring on the turkey, the stuffing, the cranberries, and the pumpkin pies. But really, you know us, we’re all about the snacks. So, when we teamed up with some friends to share our favorite Thanksgiving recipes, we knew we had to pick an easy and delicious sweet treat.
We like to make these cinnamon sugar pecans to share with our guests, bring along as a hostess gift, and just to make our house smell pretty darn fantastic. The prep takes just minutes, so they’re definitely the least labor-intensive of all the Thanksgiving foods we’re preparing this week.
