Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). To a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients, except for the pecans. Mix well.
  2. Then add in the pecans and toss to coat. Transfer to a lined baking tray and spread them out.
  3. Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 7 - 8 minutes, stirring once halfway. The nuts continue to cook even after being taken out of the oven, so be careful not to overcook. The nuts continue to harden as they cool. Enjoy!

Storage

  • Allow to fully cool before storing in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 week.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Love these! I might try to double the caramel mixture next time as I would like a bit more coating on the pecans but they are delicious :)

Thanks for sharing your experience with this one, Aurora, adding more of the mixture is a lovely idea :)

I made these once earlier this week and again yesterday, and they’re all gone already 😂 They’re so good and so easy to make I’m obsessed!! Both times I made them I had to leave them in the oven for about 10min extra, because after the recommended baking time the coating on the pecans was still wet. I’ll definitely be making these again (and again). I think a jar of these would be a super cute diy holiday gift. Especially for my brother because he keeps eating most of these when I make them 😂 Thanks so much for the amazing recipe! :)

So happy the candied pecans are being enjoyed, Evelyn! Increasing your oven temperature a tad next time may help dry out the pecans quicker if desired. A jar of them is such a lovely idea as well, thank you 🥰

Hi Sadia and PUL Team, I have been following your YT channel and blog for a few years now, but never commented.
I love your simple, easy going and beautiful (!) way of presenting recipes and since I also love to cook it is a great inspiration to try new recipes and add new tweaks.
I made these several times last winter and absolutely loved them! The weather is starting to get chillier again, so this recipe will be on my list again soon.
Thanks for all your recipes and sharing! Best wishes from Germany, Janna

This is a wonderful sweet snack on the go. This is one of the snacks I take to work for the 3 o’clock munchies to get me through until dinner. I also make a version with a mix of nuts and seeds.

These pecans are super delicious! I love the little hint of cinnamon, and they're really great to have with raisins!
