Oven Roasted Candied Pecans Recipe

I’m a bigger sweet eater than my husband. When it comes to snacking, he’ll go for something salty and I’ll head for the sweets.

Watch out, cakes, pies, and doughnuts! I’m coming right for ya!

However, when my husband wants something sweet, he wants it homemade. Recently he asked for homemade oven roasted candied pecans.

Well, specifically he asked for homemade southern pralines, but since I very rarely  have heavy cream on hand I usually don’t make this candied pecans recipe with it.

The candied pecans recipe can be used to make stovetop candied pecans, but there’s something about having candied pecans in the oven that gives it a little extra flavor.

Also, the aroma from these oven roasted candied pecans keeps my home smelling good for a bit! The smell of cinnamon and brown sugar candied pecans being roasted always excites my taste buds!

This oven roasted candied pecans recipe is great for anytime of the year. Homemade brown sugar candied pecans for salads are a good way to add a bit of flavor or you can eat them as a quick snack. - The Kreative Life

Roasted Candied Pecans – Not Just for the Holidays

I know a lot of people only think about eating pecans during the holidays with pies, but I like making candied pecans for salads or just eating them by themselves when I have a sugar craving.

Who says that I have to do what everybody else does?
