How can you make dessert better? Add pecans! Being from the South, pecans have always been a favorite of mine. We all know they’re essential for pecan pie, but they are tasty in other desserts too.<\/p>\n

When the weather is warmer, I love to end the day with a bowl of ice cream. Family Favorites’<\/a> Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Butter Pecan Sundae<\/a> topping is a fantastic addition to the bowl.<\/p>\n

“This has been our family’s favorite ice cream topping for three generations,” explains Family Favorites. “Rich, creamy, buttery, and nutty… What’s not to love?”<\/p>\n

Super quick to make, I have to say this is one of the best butter pecan caramels I’ve ever had. One bite and you’ll skip picking up a jar from the store.<\/p>\n

This recipe makes about 2 cups and any extra will store well in the fridge. It thickens up a bit when cooled but is still spoonable. Use it slightly warmed or cold. Spoon over ice cream or try it on angel food cake or even a slice of apple pie. Either way, it is a complete success!<\/p>\n

The only bad thing about Joyce Newman’s<\/a> (Pollock Pines, CA<\/a>) Melt in Your Mouth Toffee Pecan Cookies<\/a> is that it’s impossible to eat just one.<\/p>\n

“These cookies are so easy to make and so melt in your mouth yummy,” shares Joyce.<\/p>\n

The base of these nutty cookies is a yellow cake mix which makes preparing them a breeze. Each bite has bits of sweet toffee and crunchy pecans. They’re a soft chewy cookie that’s always a hit when I make them.<\/p>\n

Christina Haley<\/a> (Union City, TN<\/a>) shared her recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Bundt With Pecan Brown Butter Glaze<\/a> which is a cinnamon and pecan lover’s dream.<\/p>\n

“I have made this recipe for years,” says Christina. “It never had pecans in it or a glaze until I just recently decided it would be awesome to add the pecans and finish it off with this glaze concoction I made.”<\/p>\n

Oh so good, this is bursting with cinnamon flavor and full of pecans – inside and out. The cake is tender and moist inside with a slight crust on the outside. Drizzling the browned butter glaze is almost like a cinnamon-flavored praline glaze.<\/p>\n

If cheesecake is your choice dessert, try Gina Collier’s<\/a> (Shelbyville, TN<\/a>) Buttered Pecan Chocolate Chip Cheesecake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I was determined I was going to make a cheesecake I’ve never seen before,” says Gina. “This recipe might exist somewhere out there but as far as I know, it came from the back of my mind.”<\/p>\n

Gina’s cheesecake is tangy, smooth, and crunchy all wrapped into one tasty bite. There’s a layer of buttered pecan sauce that’s layered into the cheesecake and poured on top. That is what makes this recipe special. It’s sticky, sweet, and delicious.<\/p>\n

“This cake is so delicious, I have made it several times for pot lucks and other functions,” reveals Teresa Edwards<\/a> (New Albany, MS<\/a>). “Never a piece left.”<\/p>\n

If nutty chocolate desserts are a favorite, this Chocolate Pecan Cake<\/a> will be very popular. It’s a moist and soft chocolate cake with a caramelized pecan icing.<\/p>\n

Pouring the icing over the warm cake makes it irresistible. This should definitely be served warm so the gooey frosting is at optimal gooeyness. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Now, give me a slice of pecan pie and I’ll never pass it up. But, I wanted to show how pecans can be used in so much more than pie. Do you have a favorite recipe using pecans? Share a link to it below and Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
