I use stevia instead of sugar/honey, and mix almonds with the pecans. So yummy, I have made it twice!

These are mildly spiced/sweetened. My husband really likes them.

Pecans can be very expensive. You could substitute walnuts or almonds.

thank you Tari for a delicious recipe. My first batch was devoured at our monthly senior dance. I'm getting ready to make more for holiday gifts.
