How to Make Kahlua Glazed Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup Kahlua, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Heat over medium-high heat to 260°F (127°C), using a candy thermometer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  4. Stir in 4 cups pecan halves. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spreading the pecans in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with ½ teaspoon sea salt.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Then, gently separate the pecans to prevent sticking.
  7. Once completely cool, toss the pecans gently to ensure even salt distribution. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
