I made as stated other than I had to use worcestershire sauce instead of A-1. I'm making more to give as gifts!

I made these pecans for a Mardi Gras party and they seemed to go over pretty well. I sprinkled the Tony Chachere's on pretty liberally and didn’t think it was too spicy, so shake away!

This was super easy, and a great recipe for spiced nuts. Unfortunately, I didn't have pecans like I thought, so I had to substitute tamari almonds, which tasted great. I can't wait to make this properly with the pecans, though. Made for PRMR Tag Game.

Very tasty, even though I was cautious with the Tony Chachere Creole seasoning for personal preference. The A-1 added depth, while the Creole seasoning added sass. I will make these again, as I am always serving pecans for any excuse. Thanks for posting, BarbryT. Made for Please Review My Recipe.

This served as an excellent start to my pecans! I loved the creole seasoning on these... great choice. I did use worcestershire sauce instead of the A1 as that's what was on hand. Also added some ground cayenne pepper as well as the tabasco as I wanted them very spicy. Also added a pinch of brown sugar.. not for sweetness, but for carmelization. I baked mine at 375 for ten minutes so they'd be cripsy and they turned out perfect. Too bad pecans are not more affordable, I'd be making these everyday!
