How to Make Candied Pecans
Candied pecans are, in my opinion, one of the great things - crispy, sweet, salty, YUM. These can be added atop salads, alongside cheeses, in savory dishes for an added sweetness and crunch, or eaten all by themselves. Not only are candied pecans delicious but they're SO easy to make (which can be dangerous). This recipe makes a lot, but trust me, they disappear quickly. Extra pecans can be sealed in a container and kept in a cool, dry place.
