Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pecan halves
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1.5 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon A Sprinkle of Spice (or more if you’re feeling bold!)
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Directions
Add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir constantly to keep the sugar from burning, until the sugar melts and coats the pecans evenly (about 3–4 minutes).
Lay the pecans out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Let them cool and harden for about an hour.
Store in an airtight jar for up to a week.
