When I read reviews where people have said, 'This is good when I did this . . .' I kind of cringe but, here I go. I made this as is and I liked it very much. I own a pecan orchard and am always on the hunt for recipes I can use my crop in. I used pecans instead of the peanuts the 2nd time I made this and it turned out GRAND! Pecans took on a toasted flavor! Definately a keeper! Thanks Mrs. Claus!
