By ngaldi

Keep the holiday cocktails from going to everyone's heads with this firecracker of a snack. The healthy nut fats will balance the drinks and the Tabasco will keep the conversation lively.

Ingredients

• 1 stick(s) unsalted butter, melted
• 4 teaspoon(s) Tabasco sauce
• 2 teaspoon(s) Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoon(s) sea salt
• 1 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
• 6 cup(s) (about 1 1/2 pounds) pecan halves

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F with racks set in the top and middle positions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together all ingredients except pecans.

Place pecans in a large bowl. Pour butter mixture over pecans, tossing to combine. Spread pecans evenly on 2 baking pans and bake until toasted and fragrant, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking pan and let cool completely, 20 minutes. To package, place 1 1/2 cups pecans in each of 4 lined kraft paper bags.
