PECANS – in shell – SNMB
Check out these glorious pecans! Whether you’re snacking on them solo, adding them to your favorite recipes, or using them to top off some sweet treats, they’re a fantastic addition to your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of in-shell pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Start by cracking open those beautiful pecans. You can use a nutcracker or gently hit them with a hammer (just ensure you’re not making a mess!).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon if you’re using it. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
- Add your cracked pecans into the bowl and stir until they’re fully coated with that sweet, buttery goodness.
- Spread the pecans evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents them from sticking and makes for easier cleanup.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as you want them to be golden but not burnt!
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool. They’ll continue to harden as they sit.
- Serve these delectable candied pecans as a snack, or sprinkle them over salads, ice cream, or just about anything to add that perfect crunch!
