My 5 pound bag of pecan halves is the first time I have had PT Pecans. They really are incredibly good. I didn't think I would use a 5 pound bag quickly. I had thought about freezing them, but my daughter made a first batch of cocoa cayenne pecans and then a second, double batch. I have also toasted them in cast iron pans with coconut oil. I eat them "like candy" and add them to blueberry quinoa porridge. Opening my jar of toasted pecans, the smell is amazing and toasting brings out more of a sweet buttery flavor. I got the pecan bag from the fridge to make pecan pie bars and there is only about two cups remaining. We also plan to make cookies. I want to order another bag. I have previously bought pecans from Costco. The PT pecans are far better than the others. Not a close comparison. PT pecans are an irresistible snack. It feels like a such a simple and delicious luxury. I didn't imagine how good they would be.
