Quick and Easy Candied Pecans (2024)

You are truly blessed. I really hope you enjoy this recipe. You’ll have to write back and let me know how it goes, Noni. Thanks for commenting.

Yay! Glad to make you feel like a champ. That makes me happy. I’m so glad it worked for you. Could you not stop eating them? That’s my issue!

What a great gift idea. Give it a go and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy them.

Did you toss them well? I have a few that end up with brown sugar globs, but mostly they coat fine. I’m so sorry they didn’t work out for you.

Agree. Mine did the same.

Hmm…I’m so sorry!

I just put them in a large Ziplock bag once they are cooled. I hope you enjoy them! 🙂

That will work just fine. I’ve done it before. Sorry I didn’t get back to you until now. You may have been making them this weekend, but I try and take the weekends off to be with my family. 🙂 Hope you love them.

Let me know how they turn out.

I’m sorry to hear that. I make them all the time. Not sure why it didn’t work. 🙁

They should have dried up quicker than that. I’m sorry you are having issues.

I wonder if weather, altitude, etc. makes a difference.

I have this problem with recipes that are supposed to set or dry. I always wonder if it’s the humidity.

Yes, it’s so interesting. I have a bunch of tried it comments on Pinterest too. So many people love it and have a great experience with the recipe. Some comment that it didn’t work. I think you might be right about that. It’s been my best guess too.

Yes. That’s how I do it. 🙂 Enjoy!

It would be good to say to continue cooking until sugar is melted 🙂 I too had problems with it, as written.

Just updated it with that wording. Thanks for the input. Did you have success when you made sure the sugar was completely melted. I’ve been surprised by the negative results, but maybe this is the missing piece that wasn’t common scatted well.

I too had trouble… my sugar would not completely melt. I stirred & stirred until the nuts started to fall apart. I loved the taste and have decided to try this again, BUT next time I will melt the sugars in the butter first, then add the nuts. I think this way the nuts will get better coverage and get over stirred, I hope. Carol J.

I hope so too. I’m sorry for your difficulties. I am wondering if this recipe is really sensitive to the environment. I’ve never had issues where I live, but it seems that others have. I’m so sorry!

I have not tried other nuts. You will have to report back to let me know how it went. Hoping for some success stories. 🙂

Man. I make these over and over and haven’t had the issues that people describe in the comments. I know this is one of my most visited recipes, so I’m not sure what is happening. I’m so sorry. I know what is like to find and try a disappointing recipe. It feels like a waste all the way around. Since I have continued success personally, I’m not sure how to fix it either.

Thank you so much for the great review. If you wanted to add a star rating that would help others. I have been confused as to some of the comments as I, too, haven’t had issues and get compliments when I serve them. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Yay! Thank you so much for the great review and potential adaptations. Appreciate your comments and willingness to rate the recipe.

Thanks so much! Add a rating if you are willing. That’s super helpful to me. I really appreciate the comment!

• I just made them. Mine were dark, I think my heat was up to high.

Hmm…Sorry it didn’t work out for you. Maybe the heat was too high.

They never last long enough to know in my house, but I just looked up what people are saying online, and they say a week in an airtight container. Three weeks in the refrigerator and up to two months in the freezer. I hope that helps. Sorry it took me some time to write back.

Love that you love them. Thanks for taking the time to review!
