Sweet Coated Pecans

I took other suggestions and used half white and half brown sugar and subbed vanilla for the water. It was magnificent! I made a salad for a large crowd and the sweetness and slightly spicy flavour of the pecans complimented the tart cranberries and salty cheese. I will be adding them to everything or just eating them as they are for a sweet treat from now on.

A little too much with 1 cup of sugar otherwise, came out delicious!

You can’t just eat one of these things! I followed recommendations of others and did 1/2 sugar and 1/2 brown sugar and substituted vanilla for water. These will be a hit for any party or gathering.

Baked for 50 minutes with brown sugar instead of white, excellent recipe,

Simply AWESOME recipe and SO simple. I did use vanilla instead of water.

These should come with a warning....Don't get started eating them. You can't stop!! They are so good! I followed the recipe exactly. I highly recommend these be on your table for Christmas. I made little bags out of cellophane and gave some away as a gift. Thanks for such a great recipe.

These turned out really well! I was very surprised; I tried another recipe similar to this one once and was highly displeased with the results. I doubled the recipe (and doubled the cookie sheets) & used peanuts & cashews, because that's what I had. I used the already-salted-in-a-can kind & omitted the salt from the recipe. I used PAM spray to lubricate my pan & wished I had used butter--after a few times turning the nuts, the PAM spray was no longer functioning, and I think the butter would've been better. Still, if you're feeling fat-conscious, the PAM spray did work--I just had to peel the last 1/4 cup or so of nuts off the foil very carefully! Thanks for the recipe, it's going to make great gifts this year! (P.S. 1 lb peanuts = 3cups, 1 lb cashews = 4 cups)
