Candied Pecans

Happy anniversary, Cast Iron Stew! Yesterday marked the 3-year anniversary of this blog's start, and today marks the 3-year anniversary of my first blog post.

For years (well before I started this blog), my mom has made candied pecans around Thanksgiving. Other family members seemed to love 'em, but (as sugar-coated as they might be) they just weren't my jam.

But I've recently started to like peanut butter, and other food with nuts, a whole lot more.

So when she made these again, I tried some and (would you believe it?) these things are super delicious.

If you like pecans and sugar, I think you'll love these delicious things, too. Enjoy!
