Lets Make It! Pulse pecans with 3/4 cup of the sugar in food processor until finely ground (do not overprocess). Add butter, vanilla and salt; process, scraping bowl often, to blend.

December 6, 2010 at 05:36We love those pecan mounds and make them every year at Christmas! We call them "Russian Tea Cakes" and I've heard them called a lot of different names such as "Snowballs" "Pecan Crispies," etc. I've never toasted the pecans before baking, maybe I'll try that next time!
Nice blog!
Katherine
