Honey roasted pecans are a delicious, gluten-free, easy-to-make treat. They blend the sweetness of Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey with the savory flavor of butter and nuts. The result is a mouth-watering, satisfying, and natural snack.

The topping of kosher salt and crystalized sugar makes them nice enough to put out at a party, but they’re also perfect for everyday eating.
