DELICIOUS HARVEST RECIPE: PRALINE PECANS

Delicious Harvest Recipes is in collaboration with Walmart.

I always feel inspired in October to try something new in the kitchen. As a result, I’m featuring two harvest inspired recipes that were a big hit with my family. First, I ordered Walmart’s low-price quality private brands online to make these recipes. Second, I used their Online Grocery Service to have them delivered. All in all, it’s a treat to place my grocery order online, then have their personal shoppers do the shopping for me. This little added bonus to everyday living helps me save time and money. Right now new customers can use promo code TRIPLE10 to save $10 off their first three pickup or delivery orders. $50 min. Restrictions & fees apply. 

It’s super easy and convenient to shop at Walmart using their online grocery service. Plus, with just one click you can reorder any of the groceries in the future. All of these fresh ingredients can be ordered online, then picked up at the store or delivered at a date and time you choose.

DELICIOUS HARVEST RECIPES WITH WALMART

Praline Pecans

Basically, I’ve been wanting to make praline pecans for as long as I can remember. They’re one of the most delicious treats to have on hand in the fall. As a matter of fact, I had to make a whole other batch to shoot these photos, because they were a hit with my family. I think they’re great to eat alone, add to salads, or as an ice cream topping. They’re absolutely delicious!
