Candied Pecans are a sweet and crunchy treat often enjoyed as a snack or topping for salads, desserts, and baked goods. Made by coating pecan halves in a mixture of sugar, butter, and spices such as cinnamon before baking or stovetop cooking, candied pecans originate from Southern and American cuisine, where pecans are a staple ingredient. While pecans themselves are rich in healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, the addition of sugar and butter makes candied pecans higher in calories and less nutritionally balanced. While they provide quick energy and a satisfying crunch, they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Opt for recipes that use natural sweeteners or lighter coatings to enjoy the flavor with fewer added sugars. Candied pecans are versatile and bring a delightful sweetness to both savory and sweet dishes.
