How to Sugar Coated Pecans (Candied Pecans)


Sugar Coated Pecans are a wonderful holiday treat…. and so easy to make… and far less expensive to do it yourself. They also make a terrific gift.

TIPS

Use non-stick foil to line your baking sheet… it will help the pecans not stick to the pan and clean-up will be infinitely easier. However, still grease the foil.

Mix the sugar, cinnamon and salt with a wire whisk to blend the ingredients evenly.

Put them out to snack on or use them to garnish desserts… everyone will love them.






Recipe: How to Sugar Coat Pecans (Candied Pecans)

All you need:

1 pound pecans
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

All you have to do:

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.

Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil.

Grease the foil lightly.




Beat the egg whites with the vanilla until frothy.
















Mix the cinnamon, sugar, and salt in a large bowl or pie plate.

Then remove the pecans with a slotted spoon and add them to the sugar mixture. Toss well after each addition to coat them well.

Stir to loosen and allow to cool until you're able to handle them, about 10 minutes.
