Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set it aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or non-stick pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the mixture until smooth and combined.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 5
Add the pecans to the pan and mix well to coat them evenly with the sugary mixture.
Step 6
Continue to cook the pecans for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently. The sugar mixture will thicken and start to crystallize onto the pecans.
Step 7
Once the pecans are fully coated and the mixture has reached a sticky texture, remove the pan from heat.
Step 8
Quickly transfer the pecans to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer using a spatula or tongs.
Step 9
Allow the pecans to cool completely for about 15-20 minutes. The sugary coating will harden as they cool.
Step 10
Once cooled, break apart any clusters and serve or store them in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
