So, I've just made these and am waiting for them to cool. Question--is it really 2 teaspoons of butter, not 2 tablespoons? I've never had a recipe call for teaspoons of butter. We'll see what they taste like when they're cool. I'm trying to replicate Cheddar's glazed pecans that they put on their salad. Yum!

So i was sitting around with my daughter and thinking to myself, boy am i hungry, low and behold i had a bag of left over pecans from the pie my mother in law made for thanks giving. So i jumped on Google and stumbled across this recipe. Checked my pantry and i had every thing i needed. So i put my baby in her high chair and we went to work whipping up this quick and easy glaze. Now i'm really bad in the kitchen and can only make a hand full of stuff but this was so easy i want to put it on all kinds of stuff (mostly nuts). I have been eating them as they slowly cool and they just keep getting better, no idea how long they are going to last on the counter while they set, hopefully my wife will get off work before i eat them all.

I made these yesterday tripling the recipe. They taste wonderful but the problem I have is they tend to stick together. I wanted to put them in a Christmas tin for a grab bag gift tonight but when I opened the tin they were one big chunk. What did I do wrong? I am going back to the TX glazed pecans but I really like your recipe better.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hello, all! Thanks to all the great recipes and tips from the community here at Recipezaar, I think I'm finally getting this whole cooking thing down!
FYI: When I review recipes, I take into account that I have to alter recipes so my BF will actually eat it - no mushrooms and no peppers! I realize this alters the taste slightly, but there's not much I can do about it if I don't want him to go on a hunger strike! I also try to use low fat and/or low cal alteratives. Gotta watch that waistline! :)
I always try to give a kind, thoughtful review, even if the recipe didn't work out for me.
