Can I add other flavors to these pecans?
Absolutely! Once you've got the basic recipe down, you can add all kinds of different spices to make these extra tasty. These work especially well with flavors like pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, or you can add some cayenne for a little bit of heat.
Can I make this with a different type of nut?
This recipe also works really well with walnuts because they have a similar texture to pecans. It can also be done with almonds or cashews but the topping doesn't stick quite as well because they have smooth exteriors.
