I love making candied pecans because they will keep for a couple of weeks after they are made and you can use them for salad toppings, ice cream toppings, trail mixes, or just simply to snack on by themselves. They are so delicious and fill your house with the best aroma. These candied pecans also make for a perfect party appetizer that no guest can refuse. Seriously. It's an easy recipe that everyone will love. I apologize in advance for how addicting these can be!

There are few things that smell more delicious than candied pecans in my opinion, and when you learn to make your own at home you will wonder why you haven't been making them all along. And, now that you know how to make a basic candied pecan, feel free to add in extra spices of your choice to add a little heat or different flavor! However you spice them, I can guarantee that you won't be able to eat just one!
