About this product
Pecan pieces are halves that did not quite make it, and that is a good thing for your baking. They cost less than whole halves and spread through batters and fillings more evenly, which is exactly what you want in bars and cookies.
The flavour is sweet, soft and buttery with a faint maple note, and the texture is crisp on the outside and tender in the middle. They toast beautifully, but even straight from the bag they carry a rich, almost caramel taste.
Use them in pecan pie bars, sticky buns, oatmeal cookies or a quick coffee cake. They are also lovely over roasted sweet potatoes, in a carrot salad, or crushed over pancakes with a drizzle of syrup.
Our pecan pie bars recipe uses these pieces and shows how well they hold their shape in a gooey filling. We pack them in small bags and suggest using them within a couple of months.
