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.
