Like two plastic tub container’s worth of holiday baking and gift-giving supplies. I guess it’s more like a major problem. They’re all just so darned adorable I can’t resist! I walked into Big Lots the other day and this hits me right near the front door: It seriously makes me want to try different treat recipes just to fit them into those little treat boxes and bags for little gifts! Honestly though, those square boxes are the perfect size for a batch of cookies or fudge. I usually make up a few for teachers and friends, plus I get to bake as much as I want! And the cellophane bags are great for little treats and presents for kids. It just makes gift-giving that much more festive and special this time of year! If you’re planning on making some gifts from this kitchen this year as well, it’s really important to start thinking about your list now while all the ingredients and packaging is readily available. Start with a list of people, then figure out what favorite treats you’d like to make, and decide how many batches of each are necessary. If you want to try a new recipe this year, like these Crockpot Roasted Sugared Pecans, now is the time to do it! These pecans are wonderfully glazed and spiced with cinnamon and allspice, and are really simple to make – in fact, this is a great gift for kids to make for their teachers.

Paul Miller says August 26, 2018 at 11:24 pm Without question the most addictive snack Kel has ever made in the crockpot. During the holidays these are made constantly, eaten frequently, and given out as gifts when the requests come in. 🙂 Reply
Brenda says November 5, 2018 at 6:03 pm Hello how long will these keep fresh in plastic gift bags ? trying to make a fundraiser treat to sell for daughter for school science trip thank you Brenda Reply
Kelly Miller says November 7, 2018 at 8:39 pm I would only keep them for a day or two in gift bags, but you could always make them up ahead of time and store them in a lidded container in the fridge and just pop them in the bags when you need them to be ready for the fundraiser. Reply
Nikki says December 11, 2018 at 3:04 am Could the same recipe be used for say walnuts, cashews or almonds? Maybe to make a mixed nut batch? Reply
Kelly Miller says December 12, 2018 at 2:56 pm I would think it would work, but I’ve never tried it that way. Let me know how it turns out! Reply
Gina says December 12, 2018 at 11:04 pm I just wanted to thank you for this fabulous recipe! It’s super easy, even for those of us that are cooking-challenged! I’m also wondering if the same can be done with walnuts instead of pecans? Thanks again! Reply
Kelly Miller says December 13, 2018 at 2:37 am I’m so glad you loved it, Gina! I’m thinking it probably would work just the same with walnuts, let me know if you try it how they turn out! Reply
Beverly York says December 27, 2020 at 5:49 pm I have problems with the nuts beginning to burn. I stir every 15-30 minutes to keep them moving. If I turn it to low will 3 hours still be enough time? Reply
Deborah Weaver says December 4, 2021 at 8:30 pm Is it necessary to cook for entire 3 hours, after 1&1/2 hours they seem real dry Reply
Kelly Miller says December 6, 2021 at 1:18 pm You can stop cooking if they seem too dry, sometimes Crockpot temps vary a bit. Reply
