What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups pecan halves, toasted
directions
Place a sheet of waxed paper on a baking sheet or heat-proof countertop.
Combine the sugar, orange rind, orange juice, and cinnamon in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Stir in the pecans. Cook, stirring constantly, until the nuts are coated and the syrup is thick.
Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir the pecans until they separate. Spread the pecans onto the waxed paper and let cool completely.
Store the nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I always set out dishes of nuts as party snacks, and these are a hit! Many compliments and requests for the recipe last time I made them.
