APRICOT-PECAN SUGARPLUMS

Apricot-Pecan Sugarplums image

We deliver these fast and easy sweets to an assisted living home during the holidays and the residents love them! We also layer the ingredients in a canning jar, attach an instruction card around the lid and give the festive jars as gifts. These no-bake treats look beautiful in individual cookie tins, too! -Mandy Nall, Montgomery, Alabama
