    No but Holy Crow - it sounds yummy! Did you do it?

  3. From "low carb and lovin it" on the food network

    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1/2 cup pecans halves
    1/2 cup raw sliced almonds
    1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and then add all
    ingredients and saute for about 2 minutes or until a little crispy, stirring
    gently so as not to break up the sliced almonds. Serve warm or at room
    temperature.

    I regularly toast them, but never thought of your idea! Sounds too good to
    be true.

  10. Pat,

    I enjoy the pecans with splenda. However, I've also learned, the hard way,
    that they can become a problem. First of all pecans are very high calorie.
    If you're anywhere near goal, nuts may end up adding enough calories to
    stall weight loss. Secondly, nuts can be addictive. I invariably end up
    eating far more than I intended. Finally, though pecans are relatively low
    carb in small quantities, if you end up eating a couple handfuls you will be
    getting many more grams of carbs than you may have intended.

    My solution to this is to weigh out a portion of nuts of a known carb and
    calorie count, and only cook up the amount that, if I eat all of them at
    once, won't sabotage my food plan.

    I roast pecans (sometimes almonds) in the oven and once they're
    roasted, put a small amount of butter in the hot pan, mix until
    melted and then toss in a mixture of splenda, cinnamon, salt and
    some cayenne pepper. To make things easier I keep a container of
    the splenda seasoning already premixed.

    FYI, they'll taste different once you allow them to cool off.
