Maple Candied Pecans
Maple Candied Pecans are delightful, glistening with maple syrup and crackling with caramelized perfection. These sweet little treasures come together with just a flick of the wrist. But we warn you, they’re dangerously addictive — that’s why we recommend doubling or tripling the recipe. Whether sprinkled on your morning oatmeal, topping off a roasted veggie dish, or simply enjoyed by the handful, they add a bold, sweet crunch to anything they touch.
