Cinnamon sugar pecans are an easy edible gift to make for your loved ones.  Pecan halves are tossed is cinnamon, sugar, and salt and placed on a baking sheet to toast. The heat heightens the nutty pecan flavor and the cinnamon intensifies.  If you are feeling experimental, you can add other spices to the mix like cayenne pepper or cumin.
