Ingredients

4 cups Pecans Halves
1 Large Egg White
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 cup Granulated Sugar
½ cup Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
¼ cup water
Non Stick Cooking Spray

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 large egg white, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, until frothy. (1-2 minutes). Then stir in 4 cups pecan halves and stir until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Pour this cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of the pecans and toss so that the pecans are fully coated with the sugar mixture.
Spray the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray and then add the pecan mixture to the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Stir 1/4 cup of water into the crock pot for the last 30 minutes of the cook time to make the outer shell nice and crunchy.
Then spread the candied pecans out on a baking sheet and allow them to cool for 20-30 minutes. Then the pecans are ready to serve, store or enjoy!

Notes

I used a 6 quart crock pot for this recipe.

Store any leftover pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
