1. Pecan Butter and Jelly Sandwich — a childhood favorite that is sure to bring comfort. It’s also great for anyone who has a peanut allergy but still wants to be nostalgic. It tastes different than a traditional PB&J but still delicious. Serve with your favorite vegetables, like carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers or celery sticks.

Adding Spicy Ranch Pecans to any salad is delicious! Pictured here is a scoop of chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, parmesan cheese, and our spicy ranch pecans. We drizzled Caesar dressing on top and we highly recommend you give it a try!
