    “You seem down lately.”

    ···

    We’re going nuts here today, friends!


    Wanna join us!?!?!

    Nuts for salads, nut for snacks, nuts nuts


    nuts …

    (Well … pecans, to be exact. But “we’re


    going pecans” just doesn’t sound the
    same.)

    If you wanna take a quick peek before


    reading on, here’s a little video tutorial to
    give you an overview of how easy this
    Candied Pecan recipe is to make!

    Video Tutorial

    Easy Candied Pecans

    When it comes to creating healthy and


    delicious recipes (which is what we’re ALL
    about here at THK!), we adore nuts for
    lots of reasons, and we use them often in
    our recipe developing.

    ···

    ···

    From a nutrition perspective, nuts are


    loaded with protein and healthy fats. But
    of course, they also have tons of great
    crunch and flavor, which means they’re a
    yummy addition to all sorts of recipes, too.
    Total win!

    A handful of nuts is a stellar snack to help


    curb your hunger on a busy afternoon.
    And nuts are a fantastic salad topper,
    without the nutritional pitfalls of things
    like fakey-bacon bits, partially
    hydrogenated chow mein noodles, and
    white-carb (sneakily artificial) flavored
    croutons.

    ···
    ···

    Nuts are just … better!

    Want to pump up nuts’ yumminess


    quotient even more?

    How about … candied nuts?!? (Well …


    candied pecans, to be exact!)

    Unfortunately, store-bought versions of


    glazed, candied pecans often include
    additional, less-healthy ingredients. And
    homemade candied pecan recipes don’t
    always solve the problem – so many of
    those recipes involve loads of butter and
    added fats, and sometimes also loads of
    sugar or corn syrup. *SIGH*

    Blood

    ···

    Does it feel like you just can’t win?!?!?

    Oh, but you can!

    We’ve got an outstanding glazed, candied


    pecan recipe you’ll love!

    You don’t even have to fire up your oven


    with this one … and we’re gonna get it
    done with just 4 ingredients (not including
    the water … ‘cuz who counts that?!?!)!
    Whoop! Whoop!

    ···
    ···

    Too good to be true? Nope! But it is


    waaaaaaaaay too good! So, so good!

    These pecans are quickly toasted to bring


    out a little extra flavor, and then tossed
    with just enough sweet-salty candy
    coating!

    ···

    ···

    They’re deeee-lish as a salad topper, with


    just the right amount of sweetness to
    compliment other salad ingredients
    without being overpowering. We actually
    specifically developed this candied pecan
    recipe as a perfect, crunchy topping for
    our Salad with Goat Cheese, Pears,
    Candied Pecans and Maple-Balsamic
    Dressing.

    They’re also are a fantastic snack, and


    perfect when you’re on the go! Our kiddos
    love ’em (when they can grab a handful
    before we eat them all ourselves)! And we
    love knowing that it’s a snack loaded with
    protein … and only a teensy bit of added
    sugar.

    And pssssssst … if you’re ever in a jam,


    realizing you forgot to carefully select the
    most fan-tab-u-lastic hostess gift for a
    dinner party … know what you can do?
    Uh-huh … you guessed it! With just 5
    minutes and a quick tango with a pretty
    jar and some ribbon, you’ll be granted
    most favored houseguest status! Yay, you
    (you savvy problem-solver)!

    ···
    ···

    So while you’re at it … you just might


    wanna make two batches! These go fast!

    Or, if you’re just in a nut-makin’ kinda


    mood, try our recipe for Pumpkin Pie
    Spiced Candied Pecans, too! They
    showcase a different cooking method,
    and are dressed up in favorite holiday
    flavors that make them perfect as party
    appetizers or easy hostess gifts!
    Mmmmmm … you’ve got options!

    Ingredients
    1 1/2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons water
    1/8 teaspoon vanilla
    1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
    1 cup pecan halves

    Instructions
    1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar,
    water, vanilla, and kosher salt, stirring
    to combine (don't worry that the sugar
    and salt won't all be dissolved). Set this
    at-the-ready, next to your stove, as this
    recipe goes really quickly.
    2. In a medium-large saucepan over
    medium heat, toast pecans for 2-3
    minutes, stirring occasionally to
    prevent burning. When you begin to
    smell a lovely, nutty aroma, they're
    done.
    3. Quickly drizzle the sugar mixture into
    the pan, on top of the pecans, stirring
    the nuts as you drizzle. Stir constantly
    for about 15 seconds, until the pecans
    are thoroughly coated in the sugar
    mixture. Immediately remove from heat
    so they don't burn.
    4. Spread the pecans on a piece of
    parchment to cool. Once cooled, you
    can break the nuts apart, if needed.
    5. Enjoy immediately or store in an
    airtight container. The pecans will be
    slightly sticky at first, but the coating
    hardens further within a few hours.
