How do you make cinnamon sugar pecans?
It’s really a lot easier than you think. To make Cinnamon Sugar Pecans the hardest part is beating the egg white enough. Otherwise you just mix everything together and put it inthe oven. You’ll need cinnamon, sugar, and brown sugar. Don’t forget the vanilla for extra flavor!
Are glazed and candied pecans the same thing?
They are similar, but you use different ingredients. Glazed pecans use corn syrup and butter. Candied pecans uses sugar and brown sugar!
Why are my candied pecans soggy?
If your cinnamon sugar candied pecans are soggy they probably have not baked long enough. Remove them from the oven and stir them really well. Place them back in the oven in 5 minutes increments until the liquid is evaporated.
How long will cinnamon sugar candied pecans stay fresh?
Cinnamon Sugar Pecans or Candied Pecans will stay fresh in an airtight container for one week at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks.
