Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 3 tbsp sugar
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat a large frying pan/skillet over medium-low heat. Add sugar and wait. Patiently.
    3 tbsp sugar
  • The sugar will slowly start to melt and caramelize.
  • Add the nuts, and stir to combine. Stir often to keep the sugar from burning and to distribute it evenly.
    1 cup pecans
  • Pour the candied nuts on a piece of parchment or waxed paper until cooled.

Notes

  1. Store the candied pecans in an airtight container, and they'll keep for months.
  2. If your pan has any sugar residue left on it, add some water to the skillet, and turn the heat on low. It will dissolve in minutes.
  3. You can use any type of nuts if pecans aren't your jam.
