Candied Pecans.  They’re mouthwatering, delicious and these just happen to be no-bake! In need of a last minute holiday snack or homemade gift?  You’re in luck today. I’m sharing this amazing candied pecan recipe.  Mmmmm.

We’re approaching the time of the year when we bake lots of cookies, make lots of snacks and probably gain few extra pounds.  Yep, it’s time to pull out our stretchy pants…   And you know what?  It’s worth it {giggle}.

It’s almost impossible not to treat yourself to all of the yummy goodness that comes with the season.  Right?  I doubled this recipe recently (3 pounds of candied pecans) and they didn’t last long.  Gulp!  I kept hearing my husband grab a handful as he would say, “these are so good.”

Simply place in a jar or treat bag and tie with some ribbon.  Yep,  it’s that simple!

    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.

    Yum! Just made them. I doubled the vanilla and cinnamon. Added 1/2 tsp + Cayenne pepper for a little kick. Used 4 cups of
    peacans.

    I can’t believe these are no-bake. I’m definitely trying them for my holiday parties. I love to set out bowls of nuts on the bar and tables around the party space.

    The flavor is amazing but I must have done something wrong . . . they are not drying out very easily. Perhaps because it’s humid here in Florida? I made them about three hours ago and they are still very sticky. If I put them in a jar, they are going to clump. Ideas for where I went wrong?

      Hi Gaye. Well, that’s a shame. I’ve never experienced them not drying to a crunch. Maybe it is the humidity. You could always try to bake them dry; just keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn. If they’re not dry, I definitely wouldn’t put them in a jar — they will most likely all stick together. I wish I could be of more help.
