Candied Pecans

Sharing is caring!

Candied Pecans are one of my favorite things to make as a topping for my desserts. They are buttery, salty and sweet at the same time.

More than a recipe, this is a good trick to get a healthy-ish snack or a crunchy topping for desserts, pancakes or oatmeal.

You can store this candied pecan in a glass jar for up to 2 months and they will be as yummy and crunchy as day 1.

How to make candied pecans?

They are pretty easy to make. I toss all the ingredients into a non-stick pan and I stir for a couple minutes until the pecans are caramelized.

It’s important to use a 100% nonstick pan because you don’t want a mess when making caramel.

As soon as the candied pecans are done I transfer them to a tray covered with parchment paper or greased foil. Then with the help of a fork, I separate each pecan to avoid pecans sticking to each other. In 10 minutes they are ready to use or to be stored.
