Bourbon Candied Pecans

Bourbon Candied Pecans

8 Tbs. butter
16 oz. chopped pecans
1/4 cup bourbon (Slow & Low Bourbon works very well here)
2 cups white sugar

 

In a large skillet, over low heat, melt the butter. 

 

Add the pecans and toss to coat. 

 

Toast and roast for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, ensuring neither the butter nor the nuts burn. 

 

Cook until most of the butter has saturated the nuts. 

 

Pour in the bourbon. 

Continue to stir and coat until just about all the liquid has evaporated, at very low heat.

Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the sugar until all surfaces are coated.

Lay sugared nuts onto parchment paper and allow to cool and dry overnight.

 

Crunch and munch ~ and use for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Brownies.
