Candied Pecans

Course Dessert

Servings 3 cups

Ingredients

• ▢ 3 cups Pecan Halves
• ▢ 2 tbsp Salted butter
• ▢ ½ cup Brown sugar
• ▢ ½ tsp Cinnamon
• ▢ 1 tsp Sea salt
• ▢ ¼ cup Water
• ▢ 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a sauce pan, melt the butter on medium heat.
• Pour in the pecans and keep stirring for 3 minutes.
• Dump in the brown sugar and continuously stir for 2 minutes until the sugar is melted.
• Carefully add the water, cinnamon, and salt to the pecans and stir. It will take 2-3 minutes stirring to get the water evaporated.
• Pour the vanilla in and stir, coating them all.
• Remove from the heat and pour on the parchment paper evenly.
• Bake for 5-6 minutes in the oven.
• Let cool for an hour then stir them up and try to separate the pecans from each other leaving space on the parchment paper (it'll help them get hard).
• Let sit for a day (or 5-6 hours) and enjoy!
