Buc-ee's Small Batch Honey Glazed Pecans

Texas takes its pecans personally. The pecan is the state tree, after all, so a pound of honey-glazed ones feels like the right kind of souvenir.

These are the sweet, crunchy pecans people mean when they search Buc-ee's honey pecans, Buc-ee's glazed pecans, or Buc-ee's candied pecans. If you've walked past the nut counter wondering which bag to try first, honey glazed is a friendly place to start.

Ways we eat them: straight from the bag, chopped over vanilla ice cream, on a spinach salad with goat cheese, or scattered over sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. They also make a no-fuss gift for a teacher, a neighbor or the in-laws.

The honest part: honey is sticky, so clumps happen. Break them apart with your fingers and carry on. They're also sweet, closer to a treat than a trail snack. If you'd like something less sugary, the Roasted and Salted Pecans are the plain-spoken cousin.
