Winter Wonderland Pecans - pecan halves

Method

• Preheat oven to 250F Place pecans into a large wide bowl.
• Set aside.
• Add spices to melted butter in a small bowl and stir.
• Pour over pecans, tossing gently to coat.
• Spread pecans evenly in a single layer onto a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Place pecans in a plastic grocery bag filled with the powdered sugar.
• Holding the front and back sides of the bag, roll pecans by alternating lifting each side to tumble the pecans to coat thoroughly (like a tumbler or cleaning a bowling ball).
• Shake off excess sugar and place into a decorative serving dish (covered if not eating right away).
