OMG the spiced pecans

...so today Boe and I cleaned the downstairs of the house and got started on the gifties we're giving each family for my mom's extended familial Christmas party tomorrow.  I tweaked the pecans recipe by increasing the white sugar to 3/4 cup and added 1/4 cup of brown sugar.  I also doubled the cinnamon.

Good God these are amazing.

I can hardly wait to see how the almonds turn out!  <3 <3 <3

Harrumph.

I managed to burn the first batch of almonds.  Dammit.  They are stuck to the pan with concrete-like overcarmelized glaze.  This is gonna be a hoot to try to clean this pan. :-/

However, the second batch turned out okay.  Not as good as the pecans, but okay.  So it's salvageable.
