Candy Pecans

Who doesn't have a sweet tooth? If I'm craving something a little sweet a little salty I turn to a super quick and easy candy pecan recipe, courtesy of my sister. (Thanks Hannah!) 

One of the reasons I love this recipe is that is uses minimal ingredients and once I'm done preparing it the next step is to just pop it into the oven for an hour and wa-la done! And the greatest part, your home smells so good while its baking!

Ingredients

4 Cups Pecans

1 tbsp Cinnamon and Sugar 

2 Egg Whites

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions

Preheat Oven to 225°F

1.)Take both egg whites and beat until foamy

2.)Pour egg whites over the 4 cups of pecans

3.)Stir till all the pecans are evenly coated

4.)Add 1 cup of brown sugar, tablespoon of cinnamon and sugar,teaspoon of salt, and vanilla extract

5.)Stir till the pecans are evenly coated

6.)Bake in the over at 225°F for an hour

I like to pile the vanilla, salt, and cinnamon on top of the brown sugar that way its easier to fold onto the pecans.

After all the ingredients have been evenly mixed together it's time for the oven.

These little bad boys pack a flavor overload! Sweet and salty, they hit the sweet tooth craving head on.
