Candied Pecans

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!
