maple spiced pecans.

Whilst taking the train downtown today~ I was entranced by the alluring scent of spiced cider throughout my rather dull journey.

It brought about so many memories of fall that I hold dear. Of pumpkin pies fresh out of the oven, mulled wine, scarves and knit gloves,the crunching of leaves upon pavement, that sharp bite of cold in the air... and the star of tonight's post: maple spiced pecans!

There are wonderful as holiday gifts or as something to snack on as you sit by the fireplace, indulging in your favorite novel or perhaps staring out at the rain speckled window panes.
