Yield Makes about 1 cup
Number Of Ingredients 3
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Stir together honey and pecans, tossing to coat well. Spread pecans in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in middle of oven 15 minutes, then stir and bake 5 minutes more.
- Transfer while still warm to a sheet of parchment paper or foil and, working quickly, separate pecans with a fork. Cool completely (about 1 hour) and remove nuts from parchment, breaking up any large pieces.
Tips:
- Use high-quality pecans. Fresh, plump pecans will yield the best results.
- Toast the pecans before using. Toasting the pecans will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a large skillet or baking sheet. This will ensure that the pecans have enough space to spread out and cook evenly.
- Stir the pecans frequently. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the pecans will not cook evenly.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sugar mixture. This will help to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature without burning.
- Let the pecans cool completely before serving. This will allow the coating to harden and become crunchy.
Conclusion:
Crunchy chili and brown sugar pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or gift. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty treat that everyone will love.
