These Candied Pecans
are one of my favorite treats ever! They’re deliciously sweet, cinnamon
spiced and perfectly crunchy coated pecans that are so easy to make and
only require a few basic ingredients.
They’re great for parties and gifts because everyone always loves them, and of course they make the best midday snack!
