Hands down, my hubby’s fave treat this time of year!

Slow Cooker Candied Pecans make an excellent addition to a charcuterie board, perfectly balancing out savory cheeses and cured meats with their sweet crunch.

They can also be sprinkled over salads for added texture or served as a scrumptious topping on vanilla ice cream. If you’re feeling generous, they also make a thoughtful homemade gift when packaged in a lovely jar.

Slow Cooker Candied Pecans

Ingredients

1 pound of pecan halves
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup water

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg white and vanilla extract until foamy.
3. Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture, stirring to ensure each nut is evenly coated.
4. Add the pecans into the sugar mixture, tossing until all the pecans are evenly coated with the sugar and spice blend.
5. Lightly grease your slow cooker with non-stick spray or a light coating of oil.
6. Place the coated pecans in the slow cooker.
7. Cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
8. In the last hour of cooking, add the water and continue to stir every 20 minutes. This will help form the sugar coating.
9. Once cooked, spread the pecans on a baking sheet to cool completely before serving.
