🥜 Slow Cooker Candied Pecans (Drizzled Method)
Ingredients
4 cups raw pecan halves
Mixture #1 (about ½–¾ cup total liquid/syrupy mixture)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but 🔥)
½ tsp cinnamon (optional cozy vibes)
Pinch of salt (balances the sweet)
Instructions
Prep the slow cooker
Lightly grease the inside or line with parchment if you have it (helps prevent sticking).
Add pecans
Pour raw pecans into the slow cooker and spread them out evenly.
Drizzle the mixture
Slowly drizzle Mixture #1 over the pecans.
Stir gently until all pecans are well coated.
Slow cook
Cook on LOW for 2–3 hours
Stir every 30 minutes so they don’t clump or burn on the edges.
Dry & crisp
Once they’re glossy and smell amazing:
Spread pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Let cool for 30–45 minutes to crisp up
(They’ll harden as they cool.)
Break apart & store
Break up any clusters and store in an airtight container.
Flavor Swaps (if you wanna remix it)
🍁 Add maple syrup to Mixture #1
🌶 Tiny pinch of cayenne for sweet heat
🍊 Orange zest for holiday vibes
🧂 Finish with flaky sea salt
If you tell me what’s in Mixture #1 (like honey + butter + brown sugar? 👀), I can give you exact measurements and make this recipe chef’s kiss perfect.
