"A must for my christmas boxes! I do a mix of cookies and usually three candies. I think these get the most rave reviews of anything in there. This recipe makes a lot so I only have to do one batch and I get to eat the end pieces myself, which I always look forward to!"

The Pecan Log isn’t a candy that you see everywhere, but that wasn’t always the case. Popularized by Stuckey’s in the ’30s, a roadside farmstand created by a pecan farmer in Georgia, it eventually become a treat that reached far and wide as Stuckey’s locations expanded. Eventually, that pecan candy become synonymous with road trips for so many people and to this day, that chewy caramel-pecan coating and vanilla nougat center are something to look forward to. Lucky for all of us, if you can’t find this treat near you, you can make your own at home. It makes a great gift for friends and family and a wonderful addition to your Christmas cookie plate!
