Chef Xpress Large Candied Pecan Pieces, 5 Pounds

Azar Chef Xpress Large Candied Pecan Pieces deliver the sweet, buttery crunch of candied pecans in a convenient pre-chopped format, ready to scatter across salads, desserts, and baked goods without extra prep. The 5-pound bulk bag supplies foodservice operations, bakeries, and catering kitchens with consistent, high-quality pecan pieces coated in a crisp sugar glaze that holds up under heat and humidity. Because the pieces are already cut large, they provide visible texture and a satisfying bite in every serving while eliminating the time and waste of chopping whole nuts by hand. Azar sources and processes these candied pecans for commercial reliability, so each batch delivers uniform flavor, color, and crunch across high-volume menus.

Uses

Salad toppings: Scatter over mixed greens, spinach salads, fruit salads, and grain bowls for a sweet, crunchy contrast that pairs well with vinaigrettes and creamy dressings.
Baked goods: Fold into cookie dough, brownie batter, coffee cake, and quick breads, or press onto the top of muffins and scones before baking.
Dessert finishing: Garnish ice cream sundaes, puddings, parfaits, cheesecakes, and pie slices with a generous pinch for texture and visual appeal.
Breakfast menus: Add to oatmeal, yogurt bars, pancake and waffle toppings, and granola mixes for buffet and brunch service.
Trail mix and snack blends: Combine with dried fruit, chocolate chips, seeds, and other nuts to create custom sweet snack mixes for grab and go retail or catering.

Serving Ideas

Layer candied pecan pieces between whipped cream and caramel sauce in individual parfaits for a dessert that assembles in seconds. Press them into the edge of a frosted carrot or hummingbird cake for a bakery-style finish that customers notice. For savory-sweet balance, toss a handful over a roasted butternut squash salad with goat cheese and balsamic reduction. In brunch service, offer them as a standalone topping next to oatmeal stations and waffle bars so guests can customize to taste.

Merchandising Ideas

Display candied pecan pieces in clear bulk bins or scooped into sample cups near the salad and dessert stations so customers can see the glossy coating and large cut before buying. Cross-merchandise them alongside ice cream, baking chocolate, and pie shells in retail endcaps. Use windowed packaging or resealable tubs on grab and go snack shelves to emphasize freshness and the 5-pound value size for home bakers stocking up for holiday cooking.
