Hello! I’m Erica Lea. I’m a mom of three living in northern Minnesota (AKA The Frozen North). Here on Buttered Side Up I share recipes I have tried & modified (to be a tad healthier) and found to be delicious. My main focus is recipes with a healthy touch. You’ll find that I like to substitute organic unrefined ingredients quite often. But you won’t find that I skimp on good, natural fat. Butter > margarine.

Do you think brown sugar or honey would work as well? I'm not a fan of maple syrup. Blasphemy, I know…
Oh dear. I better not make this unless I'm sure I'll have plenty of 'help' 🙂 This sounds/looks absolutely delicious! I love sweet and salty. Usually I can't stand things that are just sweet. One exception: maple candy. All I needed to see was maple candied and I clicked on the link. And then I saw pecans, and it got better 🙂 Anyway. I will definitely have to make this. I love the idea to serve them on a cake or other dessert. Mine probably won't last that long, though 🙂
I would think that brown sugar or honey would work as well, though you might have to experiment with the cooking time to get it caramelized. 🙂
My toddler definitely helped me to eat these. 😀 I would definitely have eaten them with ice cream, except I'm trying to cut back on sweets the last month of pregnancy. 🙂
