[@mermiefasmart1387]

WOW !!! Did this with walnuts today and they are AMAZING !!! Did add one Tablespoon unsalted butter, two teaspoons liquid vanilla, half teaspoon nutmeg and half teaspoon smoky paprika chipotle !!! Start to finish, half hour !!!

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

Nicely done...Yummy

[@darcusann]

Thanks! Definitely going to try!

[@Barbarra63297]

Pralined Pecans yum, make these every Christmas and so delicious on vanilla ice cream!

[@dennispatzer5009]

I live in the Philippines. Pecans are hard to come by here, so when I found them I wanted to do something special with them. I found your recipe followed it and made the best candied pecans I ever had. Thank you.

[@23Bentley45]

Wow! They really turned out delicious! Perfect recipe

[@patblough7574]

So far I have made 3 different candied walnut recipes and my husband said they are not what he was expecting. I think I finally found THE one's that will make him happy. So here goes.....thank you so much for posting this!!!

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

YUM! I LOVE glazed cinnamon pecans. I can't wait to make them. Thank you Noreen! Have a blessed Christmas with your wonderful family!

[@Rin-dr5gh]

I did this a few years ago and now it’s my go to for the holidays 😍

[@serpentarius51]

Well...MISS NOREEN !!!! I made the Candied Pecans, I did alter the recipe because I only had 4 cups of Pecans. I did what you said and added 1/4 cup of Torani Italian Eggnog. I also substituted the Nutmeg for the Cinnamon. I used 1 1/2 cups sugar. I must tell you that they came out ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS ! This was my first time making them, and my family wants these for a holiday tradition ! Thank you SO much ! It's such a joy to offer something different and tasty for the holidays. Have a joyous Merry Christmas !

[@serpentarius51]

+serpentarius51 Now for the rest of your subscribers, I will say that I never alter the original recipe, when I am making any recipe for the first time. However, in this case, I just knew that the substitution would work.

[@serpentarius51]

+serpentarius51 I did use 3/4 cup of water. It worked out ok.

[@hollytree2927]

I could eat a 5 gallon bucket of these Noreen! Fanfreakingtastically DELICIOUS!!

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+TheWolfePit I hear you man! The problem is so could I! Good thing we have neighbors with a pecan tree!

[@thewolfepit]

+Noreen's Kitchen I remember when I was young living in Wilmington and we would pick pecans off the ground and easily fill a 5 gallon bucket!!!

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+TheWolfePit We usually have people with trees begging neighbors to come and pick nuts. #NorthCarolinaProblems LOL!

[@carolekohlschmidt6899]

Yummy.

[@susansmeltzer3001]

Tried this tonight with macadamia nuts and they turned out GREAT!!! Putting them on coconut pancakes in the morning. :D

[@lilyanncookies96]

Great gift idea, tfs.

[@cindy1274]

Will make

[@helengrant379]

Hi if l am making a big batch do I dubble the bach

[@thatgirl626]

I will add cayenne in the beginning, also I am going to experiment with half,going to add some kerrygold butter toss and slow oven 275, 20 minutes, also more cinnamon in the beginning love that spice.

[@JaimieMadison]

Thank you sooo much for this recipe. I have been looking everywhere for this. Saved me.

[@mocamilmason3384]

I wish i would have found your video first. My family loves them. This is super simple.....no egg whites.

[@bethanytaylor65]

I just made these, they are still warm. The most delicious I’ve ever tasted! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[@NailArtQueen]

they look yummy, I am going to try them.

[@Esellajessica]

I just made these.....OMGOODNESS are they delicious!!!!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌠🌠🌠 Made with pecans and walnuts. The Walnuts are my FAVE!!

[@koojiebear8464]

Oh my goodness! Tried, tested and scoffed!!! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. We go walking a fair bit and a few of these definitely would give us energy! Kind regards, Kerry

[@foreignfilmfan]

I’ve made a variation of this recipe using Penzey’s cake spice. I find it a little more interesting and less harsh than straight cinnamon.

[@thatgirl626]

Different method,I always have used one egg white etc& oven roasted to glaze my pecans, this is interesting

[@kathylenberg8177]

I just finished a batch of these. They are soooo gooood. Was going to bring some to share at work - but maybe I don't want to give of these away!!!!

[@marksimmons9262]

Of all the recipes for candied pecans/nuts this looks best one by far. Nearly forgot recipe when I saw you have same salt shaker. It was mom's. Coensidence is one thing. Brought this shaker out a little while back.

[@j-alegacystrategy5514]

Noreeeeeen! I used to watch your channel back in the day and have been struggling to find you again- kept looking up "Doreen" Good God lol - Love love love your content.

[@franceswu6367]

Did these with walnuts and they’re SO good

[@HaciendaHomestead]

A-lou-min-um-um-um. Heheh I used to say this as a kid. I love this. On my to do list this gift making weekend. Ohhhh cayenne! I like the pecans because of the sweet factor .

[@WeepingWillow422]

LOL @ "somebody's gotta do it". My dad, whenever there is some new goodie or treat hanging around, says, "We need to taste this and make sure it's okay. We wouldn't want anyone getting sick."

[@lauriechrist1333]

OMG! I just made this. So good. 😊😊

[@metalpractor5150]

Thank you so much. Holiday Shopping mall quality. which is awesome! Thoughts on using cocoa powder recipes?

[@SpoonForkHeart]

nice pecan recipe :-)

[@Shdd1122]

Omgggg they look so good!! 😍 Defiantly going to try it 😍👍

[@fivespicelife]

Thanks for sharing this recipe, Noreen! My mom loves these pecans and I would love to make these for her for the holidays. :)

[@CXTracy]

I add sesame seeds and they’re also irresistible! Thank you so much for this great video!

[@brandonvistan7444]

I needed to find a way to use up all the pecans I've collected over the past few months. This is convenient.

[@Heghineh1]

Those are so good , I made some with almonds , tuned out super yum, Will try your recipe this time , Thank you for another easy and quick recipe !

[@christinajones4171]

I just found this video omg can tou use walnuts for this

[@ericashomestead5404]

I made 5 lbs yesterday of peanuts so good my family loves it.

[@jacquelinedouglas3483]

looks really good this is a must-try I was wondering though if you don't have the vanilla powder can you use vanilla extract 😍

[@foreignfilmfan]

Did you toast the pecans beforehand?

[@pattyalvarez6814]

Just made this. I only made half a batch because I used another recipe and it came out awful. OM goodness! This is fabulous, not too sweet either. I have to try this with almonds. Thank you Noreen 😊

[@svelanikolova5776]

I make little wnut dark chocolate brains( that's what I call them) They are super good for you. You can do it with pecans as well. Use the Bain Marie method for the dark chocolate.

[@svelanikolova5776]

PS. I made some walnuts your way. HUNNY they came out awesome. Thank you for your method because it worked perfectly. Greetings from Bulgaria.

[@Dathan]

I wondered what the heck you were doing when you started but the finished product looks great.

[@Dana-eo5to]

I just made these. I think you have the easiest method, so thank you for that! They taste delicious! I'm a little sad they got a bit broken up after stirring and heating for so long. I am using them for a charcuterie board so I was really looking for a perfect presentation...I wonder if there is any way to avoid the bits and pieces?

[@tinageiger3391]

These are so good and easy!! If I wanted to do a savory version I still need sugar to make it stick? Or can it be done without sugar and still stick? Thanks Noreen, love your channel 💖

[@morganwells9847]

Vanilla powder never heard of that before.... genius!!

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+Morgan Wells Vanilla powder is awesome to have on hand. It can be used in places where you cant' really use liquid vanilla and gives you that burst of vanilla flavor.

[@morganwells9847]

You made it yourself?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+Morgan Wells Yes! Dried out some vanilla beans till they could snap then ground them up in my coffee grinder. Easy!

[@morganwells9847]

+Noreen's Kitchen This I am going to have to try, I love the thought of a powder instead of a liquid... so smart Noreen you never cease to amaze me!

[@theknockoutladysaint23]

What if I don't have vanilla powder??

[@1207sed]

Will this recipe work substituting the sugar for Swerve for a sugar-free option? I’ve made this recipe many times and it always comes out perfectly! No I’d like to try it sugar-free.

[@mariebooze956]

noreen, these look great. could you substitute vanilla sugar or vanilla bean paste mixed in the sugar. well try these with some Chipotle paprika. thanks

[@annandmarie1]

yes where do you get vanilla sugar or how do you make it i hope someone answers me im getting ready to make these in a few days thanks ahead

[@shakk77lewis67]

Is Kyan pepper the sauce from Anne's. I do think it goes 2gether nice video ; I remember poppin in this course in the foster care bldg kitchen...thanks for the kind heart..xoxo,muah

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Cayenne pepper is just a regular dry spice. Not hot sauce.

[@kimschlicher4529]

If you don't have vanilla powder can you use extract or paste? Thanks

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+Kim Schlicher No, it will change the chemistry of the end product. If you don't have vanilla powder you can just leave it out and have cinnamon pecans.

[@paulcarder8032]

Do you preheat the cast iron skillet?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

No

[@phillipweeks4709]

Where did you get the mini boxes and bags? I cannot find them that small? By the way they look spectacular and delicious!!!!!!!!!!

[@sheenadevoux5541]

+Phillip Weeks Hi Phillip, I remember hearing her say in the video that she got the little red containers at Hobby Lobby. Michaels might be an option too!

[@irishboyzgrl88]

yessss finally real candy pecans

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Glad we could help!

[@agranado09]

Can I use a nonstick pot?

[@A10TOES]

LOL Why of course!

[@vanessamobley6380]

Could you use brown sugar?

[@A10TOES]

I made this using light brown sugar, worked great, gave a more carmel flavor.

[@addictionmouse4627]

Can you use some brown sugar with the regular sugar? And do they need to be raw nuts?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Yes the nuts should be raw. I cannot attest to subbing out any amount for brown sugar. Best I can suggest is to give it a try. I never have.

[@annandmarie1]

NOREEN please where do you get vanilla sugar or how do you make it I made these last year and loved them but not have the vanilla sugar i would like to try it with the vanilla sugar do they sale it anywhere thank you ahead

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

annandmarie1 sometimes you can buy vanilla sugar. You can make it by placing a split vanilla bean into a jar with 2 cups of sugar. You need to seal the jar and allow it to rest for six months.

[@addictionmouse4627]

Can you use vanilla extract instead of vanilla powder?

[@decemberlurks]

Can you substitute vanilla extract for the powder? If so, how much would you recommend?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Yes a teaspoon

[@marie42ify]

The pecans look wonderful noreen. Great gift idea! Just wondering about the vanilla powder. Do you dry the vanilla pods whole then grind them or are you able to grind the fresh & then dry? Thank you :)

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+marie Savino They should be dried. Vanilla beans when fresh can be very pliable. So it is best to either let them air dry or throw them in a low dehydrator for about 8 hours till they snap. Then you can break them up and put them through a coffee grinder. I just keep my powder in a little plastic container. I buy my beans in bulk so it is cheaper than purchasing in the store, sometimes.

[@marie42ify]

Noreen's Kitchen Thank you Noreen.

[@melodyvictoriea9953]

Could you use Monk fruit Sweetener as a sugar substitute?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Unfortunately that won't work in this recipe. You need to use sugar or it will not caramelize properly. This is a scientific reason.

[@connieferguson430]

Where could I fine vanilla powder.??

[@diannenaworensky6698]

How long do you think it takes for the crystalization to occur? ✌🏻❤

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

It takes a while and it depends on the atmospheric conditions where you are. Such as the humidity and the ambient temperature of your I really could not give you a specific time. YOu will know when they are done.

[@CottageontheCorner]

This definitely looks easier than baking, but mose recipes call for either melted butter or egg whites. The down side of those 2 ingredients is that you would have to keep the pecans refrigerated so this recipe seems smarter.

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

You do not need to refrigerate the ones with butter or egg whites. Because the candying process made them shelf stable as sugar is a preservative.

[@paulamayo337]

I just found this recipe. Can you use vanilla extract instead of powdered vanilla?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Yes

[@710LENNY]

I've watched this before, and I'll probably watch it again, but I really, really, really, want to add some schezuan peppercorn powder to this. I think it will be brilliant.

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

You totally should! I bet it would be awesome! Or chipotle powder!

[@baguettebungalow]

What brand of saucepan are you using?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+Annie J. I don't know what brand my cast iron skillet it. My family gave it to me for Christmas a couple years ago. It is enameled on the outside. No markings on the bottom.

[@we11done46]

question，how long does it take in total？

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

As long as it takes. Without sounding like a smarty, you just need to do it till the nuts are coated and crystallized. There really is no set amount of time. There are a lot of factors that contribute to the amount of time it will take, such as the humidity in your area and things like that. If you are a more analytical person, I am sorry, but this is just one of those things where you just have to wing it.
