• servings: 10 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar (213 grams)

2 tablespoons water (28 grams)

1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract (6 grams)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (3 grams)

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

1 pound roasted halved pecans (454 grams, SEE NOTE)

Directions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Whisk the brown sugar, water, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium-sized saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the mixture starts to bubble (do not stir; just shake the pan every 30 seconds or so).

Stir in the pecan halves until all of them are fully coated then drop them onto the prepared baking pan evenly spaced so they don't stick together when fully dried.

Cool

Let cool for 15 minutes, then serve.
