Brown Sugar Candied Pecans

with Chai Spice

feature chai spice pecans recipe

Whether you make them for yourself or to give as a gift, brown sugar candied chai spiced pecans are an absolutely delicious treat. 

The sweet snack is simple to make, yet it tastes like something special. 

Set them out on a buffet table, add them to a charcuterie board or snack on them while playing board games or watching a movie. 

Of course, you can also pack them into mason jars to give as holiday gifts. You can top the jars with my free printable Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas labels.

The delicious flavor of chai spice blends perfectly with the brown sugar and fresh pecans. 

You can use a pre-made store bought chai spice blend, if you prefer. 

However, I have also included instructions, so that you can blend your own.

Then you can get this same flavor in other recipes. 

The candied pecans will be a lovely addition to your holiday celebrations, but you can definitely enjoy them year round.
