Candied Pecans

Are you looking for an awesome treat or side to bring to a holiday party that is promised to be a hit? Candied nuts are always a WIN, given there's no nuts allergies. Make sure of this beforehand. Candied nuts are a great source of healthy fats and protein and offer a different variety of crunchy snack to that table. These are also a great homemade gift idea to share with others or even for that person you may not know that well in the office or around the corner. This recipe is a single batch, often for parties I make 4-5 batches to ensure there's enough to go around. Once you start popping these bad boys there's no going back. 

Ingredients:

1 cup raw pecans

1 1/2 Tbsp pure maple syrup

1 Tbsp Domino Cinnamon 'n Sugar 

How to:

Preheat oven to 320 degrees & line a baking sheet with parchment paper, easy clean up! 

Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and toss until throughly coated. 

Place in heated oven for 20-30 mins tossing once halfway through. 

Remove from oven and allow to cool and enjoy!

Store remaining candied pecans in an airtight container. I like to add them to a decorative glass container to give as easy gifts for neighbors, letter carriers, kids' teachers, etc. Happy Holidays all!
