How we make these products

We long roast Texas pecans after a sugar glaze in small batches for over an hour and half, turning them every few minutes until they release their natural oils and develop a deep golden-brown color. The pecans go straight from our roasters to a mixing bowl where we toss them with fine-grain sea salt while they're still warm, allowing the salt to adhere naturally without any added oils or coatings.
The key to exceptional roasted pecans lies in timing and temperature control. We start with raw Texas native pecans, which have a higher oil content than imported varieties, making them ideal for roasting. Our roasting process brings out the pecans' buttery essence while creating a satisfying crunch that holds up whether you're snacking straight from the bag or adding them to your favorite recipes. Each batch is cooled on sheet pans before packaging to ensure the perfect texture—crispy outside with a tender, flavorful interior.
What Makes It Special
Hill Country Chocolate sources pecans exclusively from Texas growers, supporting local agriculture while ensuring the freshest nuts possible. Our minimal approach lets the natural pecan flavor shine through without masking it with sugar or artificial seasonings. The pecans arrive at our Fredericksburg facility within days of harvest during peak season, and we roast them fresh throughout the year.
How to Enjoy
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three weeks, or freeze for longer storage. These pecans are perfect eaten warm from the bag, chopped over salads, or incorporated into Texas pecan pie.

Product FAQs

Q: Do your roasted salted pecans contain any allergens besides tree nuts? 
A: Our roasted salted pecans are cooked in a sugar glaze. However, they are processed in our Fredericksburg, Texas facility where we also handle milk, soy, and other tree nuts. People with severe allergies should contact us directly about cross-contamination risks.

Q: How should I store roasted salted pecans to keep them fresh? 
A: Store in an airtight container at room temperature (65-75°F) for up to 3 months. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 6 months or freeze for up to 1 year. Always let refrigerated pecans come to room temperature before serving to restore their crisp texture.

Q: Can I ship roasted salted pecans as a gift during summer months? 
A: Yes, roasted pecans ship well year-round since they don't melt like chocolate. Hill Country Chocolate packages them in resealable bags that protect freshness during transit. We recommend standard shipping for pecans—no need for expedited cooling even in Texas summer heat.

Q: What's the best way to use roasted salted pecans in recipes? 
A: Chop them coarsely for pecan pie or pralines, keeping pieces large enough to maintain crunch. Add whole pecans to salads in the last minute to preserve texture. For cookies and brownies, fold them in at the end of mixing to prevent over-breaking. The salt enhances both sweet and savory dishes.

Q: Are these pecans from Texas, and why does that matter? 
A: Yes, we use Texas native pecans which are smaller and more flavorful than hybrid varieties. Native Texas pecans have 70% oil content compared to 50-60% in commercial varieties, creating a richer taste. The harder shells of native pecans also mean the meat stays fresher longer after shelling.
Q: What type of salt do you use on the pecans? A: We use fine-grain sea salt that adheres evenly to the pecans without overwhelming their natural sweetness. The salt is added while the pecans are still warm from roasting, allowing it to stick without added oils or coatings. Each batch gets precisely 1.5% salt by weight for consistent flavor.
