What You Need to Make Pecan Candy
1 lb. PECANS
1 cup SUGAR
1 tsp CINNAMON
½ tsp SALT
1 EGG WHITE
1 Tbsp WATER
How to make Pecan Candies
Buy a pound of pecan halves. When buying, be sure to choose pecans that are in good shape
...a bag of broken and busted up pecans doesn't look as pretty in a dish.
In a bowl, combine the cinnamon, sugar, and salt, and then mix well.
Set that bowl aside, and in another bowl, combine 1 egg white and 1 Tbsp. of water.
Whisk the egg white and water into a frothy foam.
Add the pecan halves into the egg white mix.
By hand, mix the pecans until coated thoroughly.
Once the pecans are coated completely, transfer then into the dry mix bowl. Still using your hand,
mix the pecans in the cinnamon sugar until they are coated well.
On an ungreased baking sheet, spread the coated pecans into a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the baking sheet every 10 minutes to give the pecans a stir and spread them out again; this will let the pecans
bake evenly and keep from sticking together.
After a total of 30 minutes baking time, remove the pecans for a final stir, then set aside to cool.
That's it. As soon as they're cool enough to eat, then eat away.
Be sure to allow the pecans to cool completely before sealing in a container.
These sugar pecan candies make a great holiday treat or anytime treat. My mom makes them all the time for family gatherings and they're
a sure fire hit.
Give this sugared pecan candy recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

You crack me up. My husband was listening to you across the room. He actually came over and told me to start this over. He laughed and laughed at you. I think your great. First time for us listening. Will certainly do it again.

[@earthworm7346]

I agree.

[@bjsimmons224]

I am now 80 years old and my mom made them every Christmas when I was a child. I love them and could eat every one. Thank you from Canton, Georgia 🎄

[@authorworld]

I've made candied pecans before but this recipe is the best. I made them this Christmas, 2 gallon bags worth, and people couldn't get enough of them. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbram8001]

authorworld...You're a good hostess.

[@beckyshields700]

I LOVE the “real life” happenings & the humor. ❤️

[@sgtjameslindsey2493]

Hey brother, here's a hint for ya. Don't Crack your egg on and edge of anything, always crack it on a flat surface. When you Crack it on an edge, the edge will push egg shell into the whites or the yolk, or it'll leave those sharp points like you had and you'll end up busting your yolk or pick out little pieces of egg shell out of your bowl. Just trying to help ya out. Thanks for the vid.

[@pjaneheil]

Always in a small dish

[@dilenaking4746]

I have tried many different candied pecan recipes. This is the absolute best!

[@The15secondsOfame]

This is exactly the pecan candies recipe I was looking for. Thank you!😊

[@theresateegarden9147]

If you like things a little spicy add a pinch of Chipotle pepper to the dry ingredients. They are really good. Not too much pepper though just enough to give it that little something. Great recipe it's the one I've used for a few years now

[@NKPumpkin]

We are loving your boom

Lol y'all, his glasses at 5:43! 🤣🤣 I love it!!!!!! Loved every bit of this video

[@AussieAngeS]

My goodness those look so good. What a great appetiser or snack. Delicious thank you for sharing your mums recipe. Your egg shell had a claw on it cause you cracked it on the side of the bowl 😬 always crack eggs on a hard surface never against a bowl.

[@fawzianoormohamed8068]

Thank you . This is an exellent recipe. I have used it over and over again. what I added is a tsp of vanilla into the egg whites before whisking it . It takes it to anothet level

[@GoodnessGracious...]

Oh wow! I am not (let me repeat), I AM NOT a baker but this recipe seemed easy enough. I made it this morning before work and they are the hit of the party! I look like Martha Friggin Stuart over here. Thanks grandma!

[@barb1333]

This just popped up on my phone. I played it. Boy did I have a good laugh with the egg cracking and your words! I needed that good laugh! Also, I didn’t see the salt go in either…blew it off until CG said something. This was a great video, and I really want to make this for snacking during Christmas this weekend. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you, CG and your precious mom.

[@gregbibb6103]

I came hear for the recipe and you gave me a memory. You said your Mother swears a lot and as soon as you said that for some reason I thought of my Grand parents. My Grand Father was from Island Kentucky and he never said a swear word in his life!............ But the memory was my Grandmother , drinking a Budwiser beer and smoking a marlboro cigarette in the 80's LOL............ From a Canadian that needed a good memory thank you!!! ( Cheers to Family ).

[@ashleyadams6803]

Boom! This is the first time I’ve watched you! Love the mishap with the egg white and salt! I’ve subscribed, Boom!

[@tamarasharp4487]

Super easy to make!! Made these to add into a Sweet Potato bread pudding with Vanilla Bourbon Caramel Sauce and they added a really nice crunch. As for just snacking, they are sweet but seemed a little light on the flavor. I think next time I will add additional cinnamon.

[@tyshine33]

I just made your recipe and another person's recipe, on the stove. Your recipe blew the other one away. So much crunchier and better coated. Thank you for posting this. Funny, I felt I had to be careful when I cracked my egg so I wouldn't break the yoke. I kept thinking, am I going to be having scrambled eggs tomorrow?

[@kwclove7623]

Your drunk baking was so funny. I’m trying this weekend! 🎉❤

super simple and great for the holidays....I used to work at a Bed and Breakfast, and I'd make up a batch of these to use as a topping for french toast, give it a little crunch and pizzaz

[@cjcj8730]

Thank you, Chef Buck, for posting this recipe! It is a fabulous substitute for the pralines I truly wanted to make, but didn't have the time. I made mine today (Dec 2019), and decided to One and a Half the recipe. *Dangerous* I know, when making a recipe for the first time; but it seemed so fool proof! The short story, plus a tip is: they turned out very edible and tasty, but **remember to make sure your pecans and pans are cool before starting.** The detail is: I love toasted pecans, so I decided I wanted to toast mine before I made this recipe. True to my life, I was in a hurry . . . almost always doing things last minute. (Hey, It works for me :-)). So, I toasted the pound and a half of pecan halves while I was preparing all of the other ingredients. . . . How does one 1/2 an egg white? I used two egg whites. Halved all the others. . . . Pecans toasted, and all other ingredients ready, I was set to combine. I poured the whisked egg whites over the pecans in the mixing bowl. Immediately I realized my mistake. Very warm (almost hot) pecans, and egg whites . . . the whites are going to start cooking. YIKES. I immediately added the combined sugar/salt/cinnamon mixture, which helped to cool the egg-cooking reaction. Lesson learned. Ultimately, as mentioned above, they turned out great. I can see there are a few very small white blobs on the pecans, but they are mostly coated with the cinnamon/sugar mixture, and the texture is not affected in the least. Unless you knew, you would not know. And here's a bonus I will definitely repeat: There seems to be less sugar shrapnel in the bottom of the pan, more coated to the pecans. So, it seems using two egg whites with one-and-a-half times the original recipe ingredients results in more yummy deliciousness coating being coated on to the pecans. Yeeeeaye! I *will*, however, be sure my pecans are cool next time. :-) Thank you, Chef Buck!!!

[@jandramardges3368]

You COULD just measure those egg whites and use 3/4 for the pecans . I measure egg white for frosting…..but I have ocd at times, soooo????🥹☺️☺️

[@doreenglendinning5987]

OMG! Just finished a double batch for favors for our New Year’s celebration for all our friends & family. I’m not sure if they’ll make it that long . Peace & Magic through this beautiful season.🎄 And Thank you’re Mom for me.

[@boucherst6404]

That looks delicious! Looks much easier than I would have thought.

[@user-qp3pu5yv1e]

If u don’t want to get messy I make mine same way but after I put my pecans in my egg white I put the sugar mixture in a nice size baggie and put the pecans and seal baggie of course and just turn the baggie forth and back and up and down and get those pecans nice and coated and I also put a tablespoon of baking soda in my sugar mixture gives a little bit extra crunch! Great recipe thx for reminding me Chef Buck!

[@maryluna4711]

Thank you so much for sharing, I enjoyed your video, one of the best instructions ever, Thank you again to you and your family 👍🏼👍🏼

Chef, I have fun watching you. You crack me up always & I love your recipes. God bless you and Merry christmas! Thank you Chef!

[@xtlhogciao]

I’m about to make these for the 2nd time in my life, and after watching/comparing probably a dozen videos last time, I immediately came straight here. Didn’t even think about it - like it was a primal instinct (undergoing Pon Farr...Pecan Farr). So, I just wanted to let you know that/say thanks! (Last time, I made them at my parent’s house a few days before they got back from vacation - mainly because I knew my mom would be absolutely shocked that I made them...but I ate them all before they got back.)

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

glad you liked them--thanks for watching. I have tried this recipe with cashews, but didn't think it was nearly as good, and cashews are still pretty pricey...I should try it with peanuts, but usually when I'm making this recipe it's around the holidays or I'm making it for guests or as a dish to take somewhere, so I kinda want it to be extra nice, which is what pecans are

[@joyceyoungblood7927]

Almonds work well . I add a tsp of vanilla to the wet ingrediants and double the cinnamon.

[@eleo_b]

That egg made me laugh! You could see it going wrong from the moment you cracked it! "I'm upset with this egg".
