Notes
*To toast pecans, place in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring every minute.
**After measuring the brown sugar, crumble it between your fingers for uniform texture. Be sure to pack the brown sugar firmly in the jar to prevent the baking mix from sifting down through it.
