How to Make Quick Candied Pecans
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cups of pecan halves and toss gently to coat with the melted butter.
- Pour in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Add a pinch of salt.
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns into a thick, golden-brown caramel, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn it!
- Remove from heat and stir in your favorite spices (suggestions below).
- Spread the candied pecans in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper to cool completely. Once cooled, break apart any clusters.
