Equipment

- parchment paper
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat add the brown and water. Stir frequently until the mixture is rapidly bubbling.
- Add in the pecans and be sure they are all coated. Continue to stir for about 3 minutes making sure not to burn the caramel. Most of the liquid will be gone.
- Immediately remove the pan from the heat and transfer the pecans to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure they are in a single layer because they will harden and stick to one another if not.
- Allow candied pecans to stay at room temperature for about an hour. Pecans should be fully cooled, and hardened.
- Store leftovers in an airtight bag for up to a week at room temperature. These can also be stored in the refridgerator for u to 2 weeks and the freezer for up to 3 months.
