These Candied Pumpkin Pie Spice Pecans were inspired by pantry staples as many of my recipes often are. They are a host's best friend when it comes to entertaining.
They are made in minutes and can be made ahead of time. There's no turning your oven on because these are made on the stovetop.
Serve these glazed pecans at your next party and watch them disappear!

Simple and delicious!
These are perfect just the way they are but not everyone likes pumpkin spice. I wonder how they would be if we tried another flavor? Maybe brown sugar and cinnamon instead of the pumpkin spice? I may give it try. Thank you for the recipe.
Willow Moon says
Thanks April! Brown sugar and cinnamon also sounds delicious!
K says
Pecan raw or soak?

Raw, I just fixed that in the recipe. Thanks for asking!
