Candied Pecans is always a favorite of mine. Every year my father and stepmother send my sister and I a TON of pecans from Alabama. I personally am not a nut person but my boyfriend is a little nutty… I mean a nut person.LuvMyRecipe.com - Candied Pecans

 

This year we received another huge box of pecans and my boyfriend asked if I could “do something” with the nuts. So I went into nutty research mode, hunting down pecan recipes, testing them out and tweaking them to my liking.

After trying several different ways of making candied pecans, we agreed that the recipe I came up with below was the recipe that we would stick with.

What a fantastic recipe that puts a spin on those plain pecans. Not overly sweet and and excellent snack food. Enjoy!
