Novel Nuts

Although I really want to stop making this recipe for Christmas because I've done it for so many years, everyone rebels and says "You have to make these again we love them". I have been giving these nuts as gifts to teachers, neighbours, service providers, etc. forever and they all just love them. I shop early in the season for novel containers, buy the pecans at Costco and voila....many little hostess gifts or a little something for someone I've missed! It's a tradition!
