    The thing I love about these sugared pecans, aside from the fact that they are totally addicting and yummy, is that they’re made in a slow cooker. This means easy! This super easy snack is great to have in a bowl for grazing during holiday gatherings.

    They are also a perfect gift. Throw some into a mason jar and tie a ribbon around it!

    HOW TO MAKE SUGARED PECANS

    Place the following ingredients into a crockpot:

    • Pecans
    • Butter
    • Brown sugar
    • Granulated sugar
    • All-spice
    • Ground cloves
    • Cinnamon
    pecans, sugar and butter in a crockpot

    Cook on Low heat for 2 hours, stirring often. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool before serving.

    RECIPE NOTES: SUGARED PECANS

    • Once they’ve cooled, sugared pecans are ready for storing. Make sure they are sealed tightly in either a plastic or glass container.
    • When stored in an airtight container, pecans will last up to 2 weeks at room temperature, 4 weeks in the fridge or 4 months in the freezer.

      Can you tell me what the difference is between using the butter that is in this recipe and egg whites? Is it a texture difference or a calorie one?
