Candied Pecans

Candied Pecans is like having a pecan pie without all the work of making a pie. My daughter had so much fun shaking the bag to coat the pecans with sugar when we are making this candied pecans recipe! It is totally a job to give the kiddos to get them in the kitchen with you! I love having the kids cook with me in the kitchen, it is such a great way to get them to learn how to cook and to fall in love with cooking. Plus it is also a great way to get them to try new foods!

Your holiday party will be great with these Cinnamon Candied Pecans. They might disappear faster then you would like them to so plan on making a double batch of these homemade candied pecans. 😉
