A friend gave me this recipe after I went crazy over them. I make them every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone just loves them Last year my 13 year old grandson requested the recipe so that he could make them himself. (They look real nice sprinkled over a cookie platter.)

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg white
1 tsp cold water
1 lb pecan halves
1/3 c brown sugar, firmly packed
3 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or a little more)

Steps:

  • 1. Beat egg white slightly. Add water and beat until frothy, but not thick. Add pecans and sir so they are all well coated.
  • 2. Mix remaining ingredients and add to nuts. Toss well to coat.
  • 3. Pour mixture onto a greased cookie sheet and bake in 250 oven for one hour. Stir occasionally while baking.
  • 4. Bet you can't eat just one!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pecans. Fresh, plump pecans are essential for making frosted pecans. Avoid any nuts that are cracked or shriveled.
  • Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crispy.
  • Use a good quality chocolate. The chocolate is the key ingredient in frosted pecans, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Be patient when dipping the pecans. It takes a little time to dip each pecan individually, but it's worth it to get them evenly coated with chocolate.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help the chocolate to set and prevent the pecans from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Frosted pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up any leftover pecans you may have. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make frosted pecans that everyone will love.
