Homemade Candied Pecans
Sweet, buttery pecans with an easy-to-make candy coating that is cooked on the stovetop.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp water
- 1 cup pecan halves
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except pecan halves in a small skillet.
- Cook over medium until sugar melts about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in pecan halves and stir to combine.
- Continue cooking stirring constantly about 2-3 minutes.
- Pecans will start to look shiny and sauce will thicken and coat the pecans.
- Remove from heat when the sauce has coated the pecans and there is very little left in the pan.
- Spread pecans onto a parchment line baking sheet in a single layer and allow to cool.
- Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.
