I made these as holiday gifts for John’s Mom and Grandmother. After making them I wasn’t sure I was going to have enough to get in their packages. John absolutely loved these cinnamon sugar pecans and every time I turned around he was walking by “taste testing” another handful to make sure they were all good. I was able to package some up for John’s Mom and she told me they were amazing and asked when was the next batch is being made.

If you double or triple this recipe does it take longer to cook? Also do you add 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 water depending on batch number?
Tj says
Don’t add the water. Nuts are completely ready after three hours. If you add water in most cases the sugar Carmelizes and turns the nuts black and a goer mess. Some even burn.
Artena Douglas says
So add the brown sugar mixture to the nuts and egg whites?
Marlena says
I am making these tomorrow for my husband. he’s going to be so amazed I can’t wait;)

Kiki2brea says
After reading the reviews, I was apprehensive about trying these. However, I did a little research of similar recipes & it appears the time shown for cooking after adding the water is a bit short. I experimented w/ cooking until the water had cooked down (approximately 45 mins.) & the pecans came out delicious & looking like the ones pictured.
Michelle says
Loved these, amazing!
kathleen says
I made a double batch of this recipe and the nuts got awful!!!!! I ended up washing then nuts off so I would lose 6 cups of pecans.
kathleen says
Made a double recipe of these nuts. The nuts got awful!! Watched very closely, stirred every 20 minutes, did not leave the kitchen for 3 hours. I ended washing off the 6 cups of nuts so I would not lose the nuts. Wonder if anyone else had trouble?
Ashley says
Mine did not turn out like this at all mine are mostly liquid sugar. What did i do wrong? ?
Alyssa says
Mine came out the same way
Michelle says
Ashley,
When I measured my brown sugar i packed it in. I had medium eggs, so I used two egg whites, and made sure they were good and frothy. After i added the water, mine were sticky. They were like a thick syrup. I let them dry on parchment paper overnight and they are amazing thus morning.
LW says
Do you put lid on crock pot while pecans cook???
Tammilee says
Hi, I did put the lid on to hold the heat in.
andrea says
Hi! about how much does this make?
Tammilee says
Hi, It makes 3 cups of cinnamon coated pecans.
Awes says
At what temperature should these cook?
Tammilee says
Hi, These cook on low for 3-4 hours.
Jennifer says
HI,
The top of your recipe says cook for 3 hours. The bottom says cook for 3-4 hours. How do I know how long the nuts need? The water needs to be added 30 minutes before the end, but is that at @.5 hours or 3.5 hours?
Thanks,
Jennifer
