First for some cinnamon sugar roasted pecans, which are so simple to make and such a big hit, be careful who you serve them to – I still get requests to make these for people I gifted 3 years ago! I’ve taken the many recipes you can find online for these delicious nuts and tweaked and fused them to my taste and preference perfection. So here we go, from my recipe book to yours:
Enjoy!
Next up are some beautiful cake bars that are sure to impress. Looking for a way to use up the cranberries and nuts leftover from your lowfat cranberry bread? (ps - did you know cranberries keep in the fridge for up to a month? So you really can use your the leftover cranberries for this one!)
This was pulled out of my oven around 7am this morning!
How about a sweeter treat, following the simplest of baking rules – eggs, sugar, flour and you have the base for baking just about any delicious dessert. Add nuts and cranberries and you have yourself festive cranberry holiday cake bars! I found this recipe on Eat at Home and just had to test it out myself. Now I’ve added it to my holiday repertoire. They really are so easy, I made them this morning before work!
Here is my version of the recipe:
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 bag fresh cranberries (I use whole cranberries, though you can chop them if you prefer)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (or, you can use any left over pecans that you have after making the cinnamon roasted pecans, though I doubt you'll have leftovers!)
Best enjoyed with friends and family ~

I'm glad you liked the Cranberry Nut Bar recipe. Thanks for sharing it! Those sugared pecans look wonderful too.
Thank you Tiffany for sharing it to begin with! I really do think they're scrumptious, though I'm going to have to bring them to work with me tomorrow, I can_not_ have them calling my name on our kitchen counter for much longer!
These look divine. I am a nut addict but my husband is allergic, perhaps I'll make both and everyone will be happy! Can't wait to try - thanks for sharing
Thanks for your comment - and good luck to you with splitting the household goodies, that's a tough one!
Mmmmmmmm. Those remind of me of the nuts you get from street vendors in NYC!
Yummy is all i can say. Don't post too many of these or you might see me at your door...I warned you!
Cinnamon and sugar pecans sound pretty amazing right about now!! And so does the cranberry bars...are they really low fat?? I'm in! Thanks for linking up today!
I really want to make your Cinnamon Sugar Pecans for Christmas as part of the gift baskets I'm putting together! They look divine!!! One question: How far in advance do you think I could make them? Today is the 14th, and of course I would not give them to friends/family until Christmas Day or after. What is the shelf life on them before they turn bad due to the egg? Thanks so much!!!
Hi Sara ~ I hope you see the comment I left on your blog to get back to you on this question!
