How to Make Honey Pecan Candy

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a large piece of aluminum foil.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup honey, ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves, the butter melts, and the mixture comes to a simmer.
  3. Add 1 cup pecan halves to the saucepan.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the syrup turns a deep amber caramel color and bubbles thickly (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Quickly pour the candy onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Using a spoon or spatula, work quickly to separate the pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated and not clumped together.
  7. Allow the candy to cool completely and harden.
  8. Once cooled, break the candy into desired sizes.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
  10. Enjoy this heavenly treat! (Maybe just one piece... or five!)
