Candied Pecans. Mouthwatering. Deliciousness.
Need a last minute holiday snack or homemade gift?
Have I got a treat for you!
Yes, at this time of the year, we bake lots of cookies, make lots of snacks and probably gain few extra pounds. And you know what? It’s worth it {giggle}. It’s that one time where we can sort-of, kind-of justify it. It’s almost impossible not to treat yourself to all of the yummy goodness that comes with the season. So, what do you say to Mouthwatering Candied Pecans? Yes, No, Maybe?
Well, if you can’t eat them or you’re a person who can pass on the sweets, then you might keep in mind that these make a perfect favor at your holiday gathering, munchy in your candy dish — or a fabulous sweet treat for a friend. It’s super easy and no-bake! I believe one of our college friends introduced this to my sister and I. It’s now a household favorite! And a wee-bit addictive {smile}. Let’s get to the recipe, shall we?
Ingredients
1/4 cup Evaporated Milk
1 cup Sugar
2 tbsp Water
1/4 tsp Vanilla
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
3 cups Pecans
Instructions
- Combine the first five ingredients over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add pecans and stir. With a slotted spoon, remove the pecans from the pan and place on wax paper until dry.
And a little more up close and personal…
Makes you want to reach out and eat one, right?
What are your favorite holiday treats?
Cookies? Caramel Corn?
I’m off to do some snacking!
Oh Happy Day!
I’ll be partying {here and here}.

I always gifted candied pecans as gifts. However, this year I have gone sugar free. I am now gifting Buffalo Spiced pecans! Just as good but hot not sweet.
Good for you, Karen… sugar free is never a bad thing
Have a very Merry Christmas. Hugs.
I know a few people that would love these as a gift
YUM- I am totally going to make these. Thanks for the recipe!
Enjoy! They are soooooo super duper yummy!
Oh, these are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! I made them last year (after you sent me the recipe again..THANK YOU!!), and I swear they’re the reason I gained 7 pounds over Christmas!
(But so totally worth it!)
HAHA!! Thanks for making me smile, friend. They are a little too yummy, huh? Have a very Merry Christmas and give those sweet kiddos hugs for me. Love and miss you!!!
Hmmmm…I’ve never made candied nuts with evaporated milk. I need to try this!
