candied pecans
Sweet coated nuts
Candied pecans are pecans coated in caramelized sugar, often with cinnamon or other spices.
The nuts are typically baked or pan-roasted until the sugar coating hardens into a sweet, crunchy shell.
They appear in salads, as snacks, or as holiday treats: She tossed candied pecans into the spinach salad.
