YUMMY CANDY COATED PECANS
I'm not typically a "nut" person. My friend had my husband and I over for dinner and she made these and put them in a salad. My husband isn't normally a nut person either but he begged me to get the recipe from her (not typical). You can eat them plain but we like them in a simple salad with balsamic vinegarette dressing. Oh so good!

Tips:
- Use fresh pecans. Stale pecans will not coat well and will have a less desirable flavor.
- Toast the pecans before coating them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. If the syrup is not hot enough, the coating will not set properly. If the syrup is too hot, the pecans will burn.
- Work quickly when coating the pecans. The sugar syrup will start to harden as it cools, so it is important to coat the pecans as soon as possible after the syrup is ready.
- Spread the coated pecans out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a single layer. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
- Let the coated pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help to ensure that the coating sets properly.
Conclusion:
Candy-coated pecans are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for snacking, parties, and gift-giving. With a little bit of time and effort, you can easily make your own candy-coated pecans at home. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give this recipe a try!
