‘Tis the season for over-indulgence and presents! In my house, it is a struggle to avoid sweet and/or salty snacks at this time of year, so I thought I would try something new. I had raw pecans and of course my trusty Primal Palate organic spices and I was hungry right after breakfast…so of course the most logical thing to do was to create a recipe using bacon fat, pecans, spices and maple syrup!
The best part about this recipe is it is fast and EASY!
ENJOY!
