Kathy R Selinski on 2025-12-16 (5 stars): This was a very easy recipe to fallow with an end result of prefect praline!
Jody on 2025-10-26 (5 stars): Super easy recipe. Added a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper to add a kick.
Rachel on 2025-10-02 (5 stars): great, simple recipe. i really dislike that you have to sign up to use the print feature, which is the only way to avoid ads.
Judy Hearne on 2025-08-30 (5 stars): I L.O.V.E. these pecans❣️❣️❣️
I’ve made them for years but I hadn’t made them for ages, so looked up a recipe and found yours!! All the years I made them in TX, I never understood why some batches came out sticky and others didn’t. Thanks so much for explaining!
I used them in a salad I made for a 30 person luncheon, w/mixed greens, red onion, basil, feta, and watermelon. They were the star of the dish!!! 💖
Michelle B on 2025-08-07 (5 stars): Turned out perfect. I like to use brown sugar made with cane sugar and not beets.
Brenda Gale Hammitt on 2025-07-10 (5 stars): Thanks for recipe, candied pecans ! Turned out GREAT !!! ❤️✌️🎶🌻 Gale
Karen on 2025-02-16 (5 stars): I replaced the brown sugar & water for maple syrup & recipe turned out perfect
S on 2025-02-12 (5 stars): The recipe was easy and pecans were perfect. Delicious in a salad with blueberries, apples and poppyseed dressing.
Tammy on 2025-02-07 (5 stars): Awesome recipe….liquids were enough I could throw in an additional handful of nuts. My pecans were on the small side. My electric cooktop was not hot enough, so I upped the heat and kept stirring until it came together with a candy coating. Easy recipe to follow..they’ll be great in my salad or for snacking!!
