These are amazing! Thank you for sharing! Can the pecans be made in advance and froze? Do you think they will store in the freezer for a month?

Hi I made these like 5 years ago for co-workers.  Bought little Christmas wine glasses at the dollar store, filled with nuts, and put on each desk.  Huge hit!  Everyone LOVED them.  I thought I lost the recipe and was so sad but found I had pinned it!  I used a T vanilla and T water and am using the roasting pan for easier stir.  I wish I could share the smell in my kitchen it is amazing!  I hope they turn out delicious as last time :-).

Just made these. I halved the recipe since it's my first time to make any sort of candied nuts. I used almonds and cashews and this is THE BEST snack ever! I will be making more for the holidays. What a perfect gift and economical as well.

Burnt  6 cups of nuts in the trash..about 37 minutes into the baking...beyond bummed

Candied pecans

Two-ingredient easy stovetop candied pecans are so simple to make!

Stovetop Candied Pecans

tbsp sugar

Heat a large frying pan/skillet over medium-low heat. Add sugar and wait. Patiently.

The sugar will slowly start to melt and caramelize.

Add the nuts, and stir to combine. Stir often to keep the sugar from burning and to distribute it evenly.

Pour the candied nuts on a piece of parchment or waxed paper until cooled.

Baked Pears scented with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove are dressed up with toasted almonds, a drizzle of honey and just a touch of ricotta. This baked pears recipe is so easy to make and works for breakfast or dessert. 

Baked Pears with Almonds, Honey and Ricotta

Bosc pears

cardamom

cloves

nutmeg

lemon

almond extract

honey

olive oil

Kosher salt

almonds

Whole milk ricotta cheese

Honey

Heat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F

Prepare the pears: Slice the pears in half and use a spoon to scoop out the tough core and seeds in the center.

Prepare the sauce: In a 9x13 baking dish add brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, juice from half a lemon, and almond extract. Stir to combine. Do your best to push it along the bottom off the baking dish so you have a thin layer on the bottom of the dish.

Bake the pears: Place the pears cut side down into the brown sugar mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the pear meets little resistance.

Make the candied nuts: While the pears bake, place a small skillet over medium heat and add the honey, olive oil, and salt. Swirl the pan around a couple of times then add the almonds. Use a rubber spatula to stir the almonds around and coat them. Let them cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant, and a deep, golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can go from toasted to burnt in an instant. Transfer to a parchment-lined plate and let cool.

To serve: Spoon some ricotta into a shallow bowl and spread it around a little bit. Place one or two pear halves cut side up, spoon some of the sauce from the baking dish over the pears, sprinkle the candied almonds on top and finish with a drizzle of honey.

You only need two ingredients and 15 minutes to make the best ever Stovetop Candied Pecans! Naturally vegan, oil-free, and refined sugar-free.

(64 g) coconut sugar*

filtered water

(200 g) pecans

coconut sugar

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. Add the sugar, salt, and water to a medium non-stick saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar crystals.

Once the mixture starts to bubble, add the pecans to the saucepan and cook until all of the liquid evaporated from the pan, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The nuts will start to stick together once finished and you will see &#8220;strings&#8221; of sugar as you stir.

Transfer the pecans to the paper-lined baking tray, then use your hands to separate each nut, to prevent sticking. Sprinkle with additional coconut sugar (if desired), then let cool completely, until the nuts are no longer stick to touch.

Serve as desired; store in the fridge or at room temperature for up to 10 days. Storing the fridge will help keep the nuts from further sticking together.

Very easy recipe to follow and pecans turn out DELICIOUS!  Have made two batches, so far, with Brown Sugar.  Will add these to my Christmas Baking from now on!!

I had left over pecans from making my pecan pie for my thanksgiving, so I decided to give this a try.

First of all - SOOO easy. 
Second - you made me the star of thanksgiving! Everyone loved these so much - at least 5 people told me they were addicting! 

My grandma actually made me move the bowl on a different table because she couldn’t stop eating them! 

Fair to say I’ll be doing this every year! People liked them better than my pecan pie that took me 5X longer to make! 

I wish I had left overs!

I made these exactly as written and used them in a salad. They were the perfect crunchy/salty/sweet addition! Thanks for making candied nuts seem less intimidating!

My boyfriend made these as an accompaniment to our pumpkin pie this year, and they were wonderful!  We used half pecans, half walnuts, and added some cinnamon and nutmeg as well.

I made the Stovetop Candied Pecans but rather than coconut Sugar I used white sparkling sugar sprinkled on top., making these lovelies Not refined sugar free  but still sooo good.

These easy vegan candied nuts are a delicious, healthy, and festive holiday treat. They're perfect for snacking or as a gift.

Easy Vegan Candied Nuts

mixed nuts

butter

white granulated sugar

In a large pan, melt the vegan butter on medium heat. Add the nuts and white granulated sugar. Mix until all the sugar has coated the nuts. Continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 minutes on medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved.

Remove the nuts from the heat and pour them onto a tray lined with parchment paper.

Spread the candied nuts out using forks and allow them to cool and harden for at least 10 minutes. Store candied nuts in a sealed container for up to one week.

Easy candied nuts naturally sweetened with maple syrup instead of refined sugar. Delicious for snacking, salads, topping sweet potatoes, gift-giving, etc.

Maple-Vanilla Candied Nuts

walnuts* (or pecans

maple syrup

vanilla extract (more if desired)

cinnamon (more if desired)

Combine all ingredients in a medium non-stick sauté pan over medium heat.

Stir well with a spatula to thoroughly coat and combine.

Bring mixture to a light simmer (soft bubbles not vigorously bubbling) stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to medium-low (to prevent burning). The mixture will be thin/liquidy at first, and then becomes very thick/sticky after a few minutes. Continue lightly simmering until the maple syrup has crystallized, about 20 minutes total, stirring often. (If the nuts are sticky, then keep going. Low and slow is the key.)

When nuts are crystallized (see photos for texture reference), pour the candied nuts out onto a flat surface. (I place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet.) Gently spread them out with a spatula and let cool.

Since I’m a huge fan of your dinner recipes, I thought it was time to try a snack food. Made this recipe this morning.  I wish I hadn’t waited so long to try these!  Wow!  So yummy and super satisfying knowing they were made at home with healthy ingredients!  😁 Not sure how long they’ll last as they are just so delicious!!

Holy moley!! These are amazing! I roasted my raw nuts before hand just for an added depth of flavor and boy oh boy was I blown away. I was skeptical of the candying process on the stovetop. So glad I stuck with it!

These are AMAZING! I did walnuts and  LOVE that it’s a stovetop recipe and didn’t need to turn on the oven in this heat. Mine crystallized in about 10-11 minutes so keep an eye on them! My daughter and I use them on our fresh spinach salads.
