Pecans…
The taste of my childhood.
I grew up in Paris but spent summers in El Paso Texas where mom was from, with my grandparents. Those were fun and loved filled summers and they were also filled with all sorts of wonderful foods.
And yes, you guessed it, pecans!
My grandma made the best pecan pie in the world!
When I made the crust for my Vegan Chocolate Cheese Cake it brought back childhood memories and I knew I had to capture those in a special and healthy way.
Voila!
These pecans bites are super simple to make and a wonderful recipe to share with your little ones. Just consider yourself warned… They are way too easy to gobble down!

I should try these. I really like the no-bake aspect since I seem to burn everything these days. It’s like I forgot how to bake!
OH I burn far too much Tonya so I can sympathize 🙂 Mostly because I walk away and get distracted, not a good habit.
Those sound super simple & fabulous! I need to make a batch to get me through the busy week ahead. How long do you think they’d last?
This looks delicious and easy to make
