Pumpkin Spice Almonds~

Well, it's that time of year!!! Pumpkin Spice everything is back.  I do have to say however, some people/companies have taken it a bit tooooo far with some pretty unappetizing products.

I did stumble upon this recipe on Pinterest, and seeing how our household loves sugared pecans at Christmas time, I knew I had to give it a try.

Warning...they are extremely addictive!  You won't be able to eat just one, so be sure to make a double batch ;-)
