Honey Toasted Pecans

Honey Toasted Pecans

Oh, man!  You all better hurry and get to your local Whole Foods Market for these delectable buttery honey flavored pecans!  How you can pass these things up, I’ll never know.

I was over in the bulk bin section of the store and my eyeballs spotted what was labeled “Honey Toasted Pecans”.  Hmmmm, I just had to have a look-see—and look-see I did with my nosy self.

They looked so shiny good in the bin.  The honey just made them glisten like diamonds.  I figured they’d taste similar to the cinnamon sugary nuts you’d find being sold in a kiosk in the middle of a mall.

Well, BOY, these are SO much better!  I fell in total love after I ate the first pecan.  Of course, I devoured them all as soon as I got home.  They’re like potato chips—you can’t each just ONE.  It’s impossible.

The sad thing is, I had only bought a handful for my first go ’round.  So needless to say, I had to make a plan to trek all the way back out to the store a couple of days later to get an entire pound at the very least.

These delicious pecans cost $10.99 per pound—so they weren’t cheap.  But they were worth every bit of love on my tongue.  Happy days!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, run to your nearest Whole Foods Market and grab a pound or two of these lovely honey toasted pecans.  Your taste buds will thank you.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Savor every bite of every morsel of these pecans.  You really appreciate the taste even more when you realize you just paid $10.99 a pound for these things!  Ahhh, the good life.
