These Cinnamon and Sugar Pecans are so irresistible! If you want your house to smell like Christmas, make these!
I always want to buy the candied nuts at the mall or events but they are so expensive. I knew there had to be a way to make them at home!
This recipe for Cinnamon and Sugar Pecans is so easy. You mix some cinnamon, sugar and salt together, beat an egg white, mix in the pecans and bake! I couldn’t believe how easy they are to make.
I love eating these candied nuts on their own, but they would be great on salads as well. I love a salad with some fruit, sweetened nuts, cheese and vinaigrette dressing! Yum! These pecans would make great gifts to give your neighbors and friends for the Holidays.
No matter how you use these pecans, you won’t regret making them!
