HOLIDAY PECAN LOGS
Meet the Cook: For 50 years, I've turned to this beloved recipe to make candy to give away at Christmas. Of the many types I've tried, these pecan logs continue to be the most popular. I'm a registered nurse who managed to juggle my profession with raising our five children. Besides cooking and baking, my interests include sewing and putting together family photo albums. -Maxine Ruhl, Fort Scott, Kansas

PECAN CARAMELS

CARAMEL PECANS
My favorite part of the caramel roll is the pecans on top so I created this recipe by combining a couple of different recipes to curb my craving. I'm not a huge fan of sweet rolls so this gives me what I want without wasting the rolls. I will often half this because it gives me plenty since they are addicting!
