Oh, this pecan candy is so good. Sometimes called glazed or candied pecans, I looked at a few different recipes and came up with this one. The deep nutty flavor of the pecans along with the sweet and slightly salty taste is wonderful. Wrap some pecan candy in parchment paper, put it in a decorative tin, and you've got a delicious homemade gift.
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash Kosher salt
1 cup whole roasted pecans
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add pecans and turn heat to medium-high. Gently boil the mixture for 3 minutes, stirring often and making sure not to let it burn.
Pour the hot mixture onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake the pecans at 350 for 15 minutes and let them cool on the pan. After cooling, break the candy into smaller pieces.
