What are the measurements for butter, brown sugar and syrup? I don’t see them. Thank you!
We actually just went to update the post. Sorry about that!
Where is the actual recipe – I am trying to get a list and amount of ingredients and there is not an actual recipe
Sorry about that, Cathy. We updated the post!
Am I missing something? I can’t seem to find the recipe for these pecans?
Updated now! Sorry about that!
When do you put in the cinnamon?
In the saucepan with the other ingredients before melting everything down. 🙂
I used to be a restaurant manager and we used to make these in massive batches! We used them on salads mostly, but we also used them on our mashed sweet potatoes and in our wraps. So yummy! The only thing we did different is to add just a pinch of cayenne. It was a ”just barely there, can’t quite put my finger on it” something that made them a popular topping. I’ve also used white pepper for a subtle difference. Both are massive hits with everyone who has tried them. I make them ALL the time – and at every holiday. I always know to bring copies of the recipe also…
That sounds amazing!!!
