Candied Pecans Recipe

I have a newfound love for nuts. These pecans are incredible. I know it’s almost impossible to not love candied nuts, but even Kevin who doesn’t love pecans thought they were excellent!
I found a recipe on AllRecipes that was not so healthy. I healthified it and shrunk it down a bit – because 1lb of pecans is a LOT of pecans.
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been whipping up a batch of these and storing them in the fridge. I grab a handful for a quick snack when I’m peckish, toss a handful onto salads, like my Beet and Goat Cheese Salad, or serve them with desserts. You need to try these. Trust me.
Hope you enjoy my candied pecans recipe as much as we do!
