Crispy Sugared Pecans are a sweet and crunchy snack that is great to top your yogurt, your ice cream, or just to eat by the handful!

When people in the south talk about nuts, the kind we eat not the people we hang out with, we are usually talking about pecans.  I grew up saying PEE-CAN, which is fine, but some people say PA-CAHN. Not really sure if there is a correct way to pronounce it, not that I am proper anyway, so I’m going to say it how I want to.

Where can I get some pecans?

Living in South Georgia they are literally falling from the trees!!  Because they are so plentiful they are my nut of choice for baking time.  Pecans are a staple for my baking and my Ma had a great recipe for Fall Spiced Nuts, which I shared last year but used walnuts for a change-up.  She made for everyone, along with Ma’s Benne Candy, for the holidays. Today I’m going to share a recipe for crispy sugared pecans for two reasons.

First things first.

How do you like your pecans?

I love pecans and I REALLY like them crispy and sweet.  They are great for munching at the movies and by the number of times I talk about the movies, you can tell I see quite a few of them!

Second things second.

How do you use Crispy Sugared Pecans?

I use them in my Mind Blowing Banana Pudding recipe.  The pudding recipe has a few different parts to it and I didn’t want to bombard you with a bunch of different recipes to make one dessert.  Also, the banana pudding recipe only uses about a cup of sugared pecans and when I do something like this I want to make a big batch and keep them handy for other things!

Make a big batch of sugared pecans!

Doing things in big batches and saving for later makes prep work and weekday cooking so much easier.  With boys in school and a husband that travels, I need all the help I can get!

This recipe only takes 30 minutes but you can reap the reward of having a large batch of crispy sugared pecans ready to step up to the plate when you need them!!!
