This recipe came off Pinterest I switched some ingredients, instead of coconut oil I used a 1/2 of stick of butter and I didn’t use vanilla extract at all. I also only used pecans, what I had on hand. You can tweak this to your liking. I had this at a baby shower and they had cranberries pieces in theirs so get creative and enjoy!
