The Best Butter Pecan Sandwiches

During my latest farmers market adventure, I got myself one of the best butter pecan ice cream sandwiches near me as of late. Wholegrain rye. Oh, my dear lord. Full-bodied, with perfect crust, and such a perfectly dense center. Cutting a mere slice of this bread makes my mouth water in anticipation. Why would anyone go for plain white flour breads when there are these wholegrain beauties out there is beyond me.

Butter Pecan Sandwiches. Unsweetened, naked nut butter. Just raw pecans blended until creamy and thick and made into butter. One of the most delicious nut butter. Similar to walnuts, pecans are softer than other nuts, like almonds for example, and that makes them easier to turn into nut butter, even if you don’t have a powerful blender.
