Candied Pecans

If you looking for a super sinful treat, this is it. And the recipe is super easy. I used the recipe from Brown Eyed Baker. These would be a great gift idea. I will be packaging up some of these for my big sis.

I know she will love them.

Here's the recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound pecan halves

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

2. In a large zip-top bag, combine the sugar, cinnamon and salt; set aside.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, water and vanilla extract. Add the pecans to the bowl and stir them into the egg white mixture with a rubber spatula, making sure they are all moistened. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pecans from the egg white mixture and drop them into the bag with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Once all of the pecans are added, seal the bag, and shake it to coat all of the pecans.

4. Using a clean slotted spoon, remove the pecans from the bag and place onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 1 hour, stirring them every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. The pecans can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
