Hey guys! This is Amanda from High Heels to Hot Wheels! Long time, no see and thank you very much for having me back! Ruthie has been so sweet and patient with my crazy, chaotic life these days as a working mom of two with a traveling husband and a big time unexpected move thrown in right at Christmas. It kind of felt like everything in life was put on hold for a bit, so I am so super excited to be back with you all today to share a recipe that I think is an absolute Super Bowl Party must!!!!

Bourbon Spiced Pecans

My in-laws have a pecan orchard in East Texas and this year was an almighty harvest!! This year’s pecans are amazing in any way they are consumed, but I have become a candying pecan fool lately. This spicy and sweet version of candied pecans might be my favorite and definitely one for the football watching men! And to make it even better, they are so EASY to make! Set them out in a dish for your guests to snack on or keep them for yourself to top your favorite salads with, either way they will be a hit!

Since I have a freezer full of shelled pecans, you just might get one more recipe out of me this winter while we are in the throws of comfort food. Thanks again for having me back!
