CINNAMON SUGARED PECANS

Jun.posted by Paula 4 Comments

Cinnamon Sugared Pecans are sweet, salty, crunchy and hard to resist! A serious snack that you can easily make in 30 minutes!

I love snacking on crunchy food and these pecans are no exception!

Cinnamon Sugared Pecans

In an attempt to make every recipe better, I decided to add not just plain pecans, but Cinnamon Sugared Pecans to a recipe. After we ate the entire first batch of pecans, the second batch actually made it into the recipe. My instincts, by the way, were spot on. Cinnamon Sugared Pecans really kicked up my Apricot Pecan Scones.

I find a handful of salty and sweet nuts hard to resist. Obviously, the rest of my household did as well!

Cinnamon Sugared Pecans make a wonderful homemade gift. You may want to make a double batch if you plan to give them away. You’ll most definitely want some for yourself. If you plan to give these as gifts, allow the nuts to cool completely before packaging.

This is a simple recipe. The sugared coating is made with sugar and water, then you can actually spice it anyway you want. The sugar is dissolved stove-top, then the pecans are baked. They’re ready in 30 minutes!

The pecans I used were salted, like, really salty. If you want to control the salt, get unsalted nuts and add the desired amount of salt.

  • I spiced my pecans with cinnamon if you’re not a fan of cinnamon you can leave it out.
  • You can also substitute ground red pepper or cayenne pepper for the cinnamon. This adds a nice heat that contrasts nicely with the sweetness.
  • Try using mixed nuts, all almonds or all cashews or a cup of each. Simply irresistible!
  • Use salted or unsalted and control the salt yourself. Of course, you can leave the salt out completely if you prefer.

    Mixed salty/sweet/spiced nuts are one of my all-time favorite treats, Paula. The only problem is that I can’t stop eating the when they’re in the house. They disappear WAY too quickly! Pinned this recipe and will be making your version when I have a good excuse to share them. 🙂
