Ingredients

• 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted
• 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup real maple syrup (I used Grade A)
• 1 teaspoon maple extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions

• Chop up the pecans. You can chop them with a knife or in a food processor. See photos to see what level of choppiness were talking.
• Set a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pecans and stir occasionally until they start to smell delicious, or until they barely start to brown. Set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter to within an inch of its life. Just kidding, beat it for a couple minutes until its high and fluffy.
• Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and maple syrup. Beat well.
• Add 1 cup powdered sugar, maple extract, and salt. Beat well.
• Add the chopped pecans when they are completely cooled and beat it. Try not to eat it all with a spoon.
