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

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.

    I would like to try these with walnuts. Sounds like it will work.

    Did they soften up the pecans or did they stay hard?

      Hi Joyce! The pecans stay hard through the cooking. Hope this helps!

    Not sure what I did wrong, but mine did not turn out like the picture. They were still wet and sticky after they cooled, but tasted good..

    I tried this recipe, and they are so easy to make and "Oh, So Addictive". My husband loved them, so did the girls at the office. So, now they want the recipe.

    These turned out great! I sprayed my crock-pot with spray-oil beforehand, and didn't have a problem with anything sticking. I made them to give as gifts: one batch fills six 8oz. mason jars. I glued ribbon around the rim of the jars and they look festive!

    This looks wonderful!

    Sara A. – Get yourself a jug of white vinegar (I keep one around att the time), fill that crockpot to where the crust is, turn it on high for awhile. That should help. Also, a lot of stores carry Bon Ami, which us like a natural, non-toxic, very inexpensive comet. Usually kept next to Barkeeper's Secret.

    Any time I use any non non-stick pan, when the food leaves, the vinegar goes in and it goes back on the burner. I seldom scrub anything anymore,

    Hi Sara! I'm so sorry! I hope you are able to get your crock pot back to normal.

    These ruined my crockpot! I had it on low heat and was stirring every 15-20 minutes and it left a blackened crust stuck to the pot which is impossible to scrub off!

    Hi Ellie! They will stay fresh for a few weeks as long as you have them sealed up in air-tight container.

    This idea is so cool. I never heard of flavouring nuts in a crock pot.
