Equipment

  • Pan
  • Spatula
  • Wax Paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pecans
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoon Water

Instructions

  • Place a pan over medium heat.
  • Add the brown sugar & spices.
  • Pour in a little bit of water to help the sugar melt. You don't want to use too much water because that will cause the mixture to be too wet and it makes it harder to work with.
  • Once the mixture bubbles it is done. Add in the pecans and toss them around to coat them.
  • Pour out onto wax paper to cool for about 30 minutes. When they are cool you can break them apart.
  • Store in an airtight container. They are good for 1 week at room temp, 3 weeks in the fridge and 2 months in the freezer. This is useless information because they will not last that long.
