Amazing Candied Pecan Recipe

For all the nut lovers out there…this recipe is for you.

OK, so we can’t call this recipe KETO friendly because of the sugar content, so I apologize for derailing you from your diet but this recipe is worth the calories if you love nuts.

Personally, I am a sucker for anything nut related, I don’t discriminate and love all nuts equally. Add sugar and I’m hooked for life. While the sugar is not recommended for a healthy diet, pecans and nuts are heart healthy, so in my mind…I’m half way there 😉

This easy recipe is a delicious way to add a bit of “spice” to a handful nuts. I must warn you, it will be very difficult to eat just one.

3.) Add sugar mixture into pecan mixture and coat nuts evenly.

4.) Spread the pecans onto a baking pan. Tip: I highly recommend using parchment paper to make clean up a breeze 😉
