These pecans are amazing! They’re seriously dangerous – it’s hard to stop eating them. Highly recommended.
These disappear like crazy at parties. Definitely use the parchment paper when baking!
I made this recipe but substituted mostly brown sugar for the 1/2 cup white sugar (3/8+ c. brown sugar), used 3 cups of pecans, and only needed to cook it at 225 degrees for 45 minutes on a large cookie sheet. They turned out very similar to what you can buy in a store. Took them to a small gathering of 10 people and they were gone in no time. Thanks!
