WHY THESE SUGAR COATED PECANS ARE THE BEST

Cinnamon Sugar Coated Pecans are my must have holiday snack and let me tell you how warm and comforting your house will smell when you are making these .. you will have every neighbor on your street knocking on your door!

HOW DO YOU MAKE CINNAMON SUGAR COATED PECANS?

Easy! To make these candied pecans, simply preheat your oven to 250 degrees and lightly butter or non-stick spray coat a large baking pan. 

In a large mixing bowl, add egg white and vanilla extract and using your highest mixer setting, beat until your egg white is frothy and light, approximately 5 minutes.

Once your egg white has been beaten, add you pecans to the bowl and mix until they are completely coated.
