I can't stop snacking on these tasty candied pecans!

Hi Bakers,

I bought way too many pecans for my holiday pies and decided to make candied nuts with some of them...

These sweet, crunchy maple butter pecans make an amazing snack( I ate so many I lost count!), but they’re also perfect for topping salads, gifting to friends and neighbors, or using in your holiday baking. I’ll be sharing a Rocky Road Bark recipe later this week that uses these exact maple candied pecans… so make a batch now and save a handful! Enjoy ~Carolyn

Easy Candied Pecans (Stovetop)

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole raw pecans

• 1 ½ tablespoons butter

• 1–2 pinches of salt (use 2 if you like them saltier)

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium–high heat.

2. Add the pecans and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Stir for a few minutes, until the nuts warm up and become fragrant.

3. Pour in the maple syrup and add the sugar. Stir well to coat the pecans.

4. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the syrup thickens, evaporates, and the nuts become coated in a sugary glaze.

5. As soon as the sugar coating turns thick and starts to crystallise, remove the pecans from the pan.

6. Spread and separate the nuts on a nonstick mat or parchment paper. Let them cool completely.

7. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
