Sugar Free Vanilla Pecans

vanilla pecans

Every time I think of sugar-free or diet snacks, a few things come to mind…tasteless and aftertaste. Not so good.
 
But this recipe is the total opposite of that. We love sugar… some of us here are almost addicted to sugar. So recipes like this are always welcome.
 
These scrumptious vanilla pecans are sweetened with Swerve, a product we’ve been using quite often in order to minimize our sugar intake.
 
Think of this treat as the perfect snack, something low calorie and delicious to have in a jar on your counter top just waiting for you.
 
Make a couple of batches and have them handy if you’d like to share them with family and friends. Enjoy!
