Note: One of the best part of the holiday season is the family and friends that visit and that you get to visit. When we have visitors I want them to feel comfortable. We don't have a separate guest room per se. We usually let our guests stay in Big Guy's room and all the kids have a slumber party in Little Guy's room using our Aerobed mattresses. One of my favorite things to do when we have guests arrive is to have a "welcome" tray or basket on the bed. I like personalizing the items for the likes of my friends. Favorite drinks or snacks. Favorite books or magazines. Even a surprise or two like a homemade snack. The praline pecans below are definitely a hit and something yummy for some of the males in our family who tend to get the munchies late at night!
Praline Pecans
Ingredients:
2 cups whole pecans
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Spread into a square baking pan, sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until coating is dry, and slightly crystallized, stirring once. Remove from oven to cool and stir once more. If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container.

I've been trying different nut recipes. This one will have to be next!
This sounds delicious! I love doing spiced pecans and have done regular pralines, but this sounds wonderful!! :D
I totally agree with you on the holidays and having guests. And I LOVE the basket thing. I try to do this sometimes, even if it's in the bathroom with toiletries they may have forgotten. But your basket sounds better!!!!!!
These look good and easy. Thanks for sharing.
When can we come over?
Sounds great!
