WARNING! These Cinnamon Candied Pecans are super addictive but so worth it. I can’t believe how easy they are to make and easy to eat!
I got this particular recipe from my husband’s cousin’s wife. She hosts the family Thanksgiving every year and these are always on the table. Cole has been begging me for years to get her recipe so I finally did, I can’t believe how easy they are and addicting!
Tips and Tricks and Ideas:
- I won’t lie these are coated in sugar, a lot of sugar. If you were inclined you could cut the sugar back a bit, but I’ll be honest the sugar is good!
- Kick it up a bit by adding a touch of cayenne pepper. It won’t take much but the sweet and heat are super good together. See my note in the recipe for this option.
- These need stirred every 15 minutes while in the oven, believe me it’s worth it!
- Not a pecan fan? Try mixed nut or cashews or walnuts!
Cinnamon Candied Pecans
A great way to make these a tick different is to add anywhere from a pinch to a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon, sugar, and salt mixture before you put it on the nuts. Be careful and start light – cayenne pepper can get hot and heavy pretty fast.
I have people comment on my serving dishes which I have an unhealthy addiction too! Amazon is my go-to, they are the Mud Pie Collection. I use my Mud Pie Candy Dish all the time! I also love all the Mud Pie Cloth Napkins.
