One year my daughter was helping me make up a batch of candied pecans and instead of using the pecan halves she poured in the bag of pecan pieces.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz pecan pieces
1 large egg white
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl combine the egg white and the pecan pieces, coat well. In a separate bowl combine the remaining ingredients and then add them to the pecans and toss well.
  • 2. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Spread the mixture out into an even layer on the pan. Bake them in a 300 degree oven for 30-40 minutes (will depend on your oven). They will be very fragrant and lightly toasted in color. Remove from the oven and allow the mixture to cool in the pan.
  • 3. Use a knife and chop into bite size pieces or break by hand, keep in mind these are not as hard a regular peanut brittle. Store in an airtight container.
