The Story Behind Pecan Logs
What is a Pecan Log Roll?
Made famous by Mrs. Stuckey way back when, a pecan log roll is simply delicious. A nougat filling surrounded by caramel and pecans, there is nothing quite as indulgent as this sweet yet nutty treat. With its nutty outer shell and delectable inside, pecan logs are truly a Southern delicacy.
Inside, you have the confectionary beauty of nougat, occasionally mixed with a sweet cherry filling. Then your taste buds are met with the sweet and nutty mixture of caramel and pecans. A pecan log roll is an experience everyone should have.
History of the Traditional Pecan Log
While Mrs. Stuckey wasn't the creator of the traditional pecan log roll, she perfected the recipe in 1937. What started out as a roadside pecan business soon became an all-inclusive business of nuts, drinks, and candy. This purely American treat is highly recommended to visit during road trips, where visitors can see the home place of the perfected pecan log -- thanks to Ethel Stuckey for adding a secret ingredient of maraschino cherries to this treat!
