This appetizer is so easy and you may actually mistake it for dessert. It’s that decadent and has the sweetest finish! The drizzle of delish is with Buzz + Bloom Honey. This is one of my go-to brands because it’s craft style honey with unique floral flavors from the natural pollen, so you really have a chance to elevate your holiday dishes. If you want additional spice, just roast the pecans with butter, cumin, a bit of cayenne, kosher salt and brown sugar. Ah-mazing!
Whether you’re dipping, spreading, cooking or spooning, Buzz + Bloom Honey is a great gift for anyone on your list this holiday season like the host that has everything or the foodie who enjoys cooking. Look how super cute their packaging is! Stocking stuffer, anyone?
