I am learning to enjoy cooking for my sweet family of four. Those recipes that actually turn out edible, I am posting here as proof that sometimes things really are foolproof.

Candied Pecans

I love candied pecans on my salad but noticed they are about a million dollars at my neighborhood H-E-B. So, I learned to make them. It is super easy!

What You'll Need:
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1 cup sugar

Let's Get Cookin':
Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.

Add pecans and sugar; stir to combine.




Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar melts around pecans and is caramel-colored.

Remove pecans with a slotted spoon and spread in a single layer on a sheet of lightly greased aluminum foil. Cool completely and break up pieces as needed.
They are also fantastic as a snack!
