Praline Pecans

Seasoned nuts are the perfect party side dish as they can be made ahead and will satisfy nibblers.

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cream or half and half
• 2 cups pecan halves

Method Melt butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and cream and bring to a boil. Add pecans, stirring well until totally coated in butter mixture. Let cool for a few minutes.  Nuts hold heat a long time.  When cool, spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Do  not use waxed paper as the heat of the nuts could melt the wax. Brown paper is acceptable. Store in an  air-tight container. Serves: 8 - 10 contributor: pat ciesla more appetizers and hors d'oeuvres more super-bowl recipes
