Loved these! Followed someone else’s commented variation and added a little vanilla. So good and so easy!
★★★★★
Oh yummy! So happy to hear that you enjoyed these, Jordan. 🙂
Hi LR, thank you! The coconut oil is derived from a coconut tree–so totally plant-based. 😉 Can’t wait to hear what you think!
WOW! These are amazing! And EASY! Thanks so much!
I’m so happy you enjoyed them, Dana! 🙂
Hey, thanks for this. I made a few variations I wanted to share with you. I added a little vanilla, fresh ground cinnamon, didn’t have coconut sugar so I used a half packet of Truvia. So yumm-didli-mmmm!
★★★★
My pleasure, Yolanda! 🙂 I’m so happy that you enjoyed this. What a fantastic idea to add vanilla, ground cinnamon and Truvia. 🙂 I can just imagine how wonderful your home smelled when you were making these. Thanks for taking the time to let me know about your variations. 🙂
I love candied nuts. These look so good! I like the idea of giving candied nuts out for the holidays. A) around Christmas, you can get tired of baked goods and B) they’re a good option for people with gluten or dairy intolerance (although, of course, nut allergies are also a thing.)
As for me, I am in no hurry to see pecanless recipes. Pecans ftw!
There’s just something about the holidays that make candied nuts totally necessary. 😉 Agreed with both points! Sometimes you just need a break from the oven, and you’ve got friends with diet restrictions. 🙂 Thanks so much, Joyce! 🙂
I agree – maple and cinnamon is one of the best combos! The candied pecans I usually make have neither – what?!? Can’t wait to give this version a try 🙂
The combo is SO delicious! Be sure to let me know how you like it! 🙂 Thanks so much, Megan. 😉
These could not sound easier-to-make or more perfect to eat!! I wanna snag a handful right now just looking at them 🙂
Woot woot! Just a handful might not do… 😉 Better have the entire batch! 🙂 Thanks Rachel.
I’m so far behind on visiting your site and recipes Demeter! My bad 😉 Here’s the deal in my household: I LOVE pecans and the hubby doesn’t. The good news is all the pecans are for me! Can’t wait to try these 🙂
★★★★★
Haha. No biggie! All for you sounds awesome! 🙂 Hope you love it, Karrie!
I could eat these all day. Growing up in Georgia we had a big pecan tree in our yard and back then I took them for granted. Now that I can’t just get them when I want I am starting to realize how lucky we were to have a tree in our yard. This recipe will be on my gift giving list this year. Thanks
Woah, that must have been awesome!!! I can only imagine how wonderful it was… Ya never know til it’s gone, right? Lol. Hope you and your family enjoy this, Celeste! 🙂
Is it possible to become an addict from pecans like these? 😉 Pecan-less should NEVER be a thing, nor should chocolate-less. My sympathy goes out to two friends of mine who will never be able to experience the glory of chocolate or pecans because they’re allergic. I can’t even think about that! Another amazing recipe as always, Demeter!! 🙂
★★★★★
Haha… maybe? In the tastiest way possible. 😉 Right?? If they ever become a thing, I’ll just cover my ears. Aw, your poor friends… that totally stinks! Thanks so much, Marina! 🙂
