These small pecan chips can be used directly from the package in many applications. For baking, they can be stirred into cookie dough, muffin batter, or bread dough. They are excellent sprinkled over casseroles or roasted vegetables before serving. For a quick snack, they can be combined with other nuts, seeds, and dried fruits to create a custom trail mix. They also make a lovely topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream, providing a satisfying textural contrast.
