Go NUTS This Holiday Season with Better Halves Pecans

From delicious recipes to gift options, we have lots of great ways to celebrate! Pecans bring a delightful nutty flavor and satisfying crunch to a wide range of holiday dishes and treats. Whether used in sweet or savory recipes, they add a touch of warmth and tradition to holiday gatherings. Our sweet or savory combination bags have nine 1oz bags of pecan flavors that make great stocking stuffers.

Here are some ways in which pecans can be enjoyed during this festive time:

1. Pecan Pie: Pecan pie is a classic dessert enjoyed during Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s made with a filling of pecans mixed with a sweet, gooey mixture of sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and butter, all baked in a pie crust.
2. Pecan Tarts: Similar to pecan pie, pecan tarts are smaller individual-sized versions of the pie. They’re often served as bite-sized treats at holiday gatherings.
3. Roasted Pecans: Avoid the preparation and order some of our festive flavors to enjoy during the holidays: Our Roasted and Roasted and Salted can be served as a snack or appetizer during holiday parties. Our Milk Chocolate Covered, Cinnamon Glazed and Southern Praline Pecans are excellent options for a sweet flavor.
4. Pecan Brittle: Pecan brittle is a crunchy and sweet confection made by mixing pecans with a caramelized sugar mixture that hardens as it cools. It’s a delightful treat to share or give as a gift during the holiday season.
5. Pecan-Crusted Dishes: Pecans can be used to add a delicious nutty crunch to various dishes. Pecan-crusted meats, such as chicken or fish, can be a savory addition to holiday dinners. Our Better Halves Pecan Pieces are perfect for recipes calling for this.
6. Pecan Pralines: Get the yummy flavor of pralines without the work! We have Southern Praline Pecans ready to order! They are a beloved Southern treat often enjoyed as a dessert or as part of a holiday dessert platter.
