Pumpkin Pie Spiced Pecans
You know I love snacks & when they are still perfectly whole & not weighed down with added sugar, there is a greater reward. Getting to have a little something special to munch on without messing up my healthy lifestyle is a win-win.
The essence of all things fall is wrapped up in these amazing Pumpkin Spiced Pecans. The perfect amount of pumpkin spice blends well with this sweet little nut.
You can eat these all by themselves, or throw them in with some raisins or cranberries to make a trail mix. I think they would also be super yummy with some blueberries & coconut milk like a cereal for breakfast.
There are all sorts of ways to eat these pecans, just make sure you share them with the people you love!
