You all know I love my Crock Pot! I love how quick, easy and tasty dishes are with the Crock Pot. Today I am in LOVE with this Crock Pot Cinnamon Pecan recipe. Oh my goodness these are amazing.
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 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 being made.
These Crock Pot Cinnamon Pecans are crazy easy to make! If you are hosting a holiday event these would be perfect to make! They make the house smell amazing and you have a great snack for your guests that is sure to go over amazingly!
Today is day 2 of our holiday cookie and treats! Make sure you check out yesterday’s Krumkake recipe! It is my favorite holiday treat!

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?
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.
So add the brown sugar mixture to the nuts and egg whites?
I am making these tomorrow for my husband. he’s going to be so amazed I can’t wait;)
Can you use almonds?
Crock Pot Chinnamon Pecans are wonderful!!
So glad you enjoyed them!!!!
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.
Loved these, amazing!
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.
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?
Mine did not turn out like this at all mine are mostly liquid sugar. What did i do wrong? ?
Mine came out the same way
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.
Do you put lid on crock pot while pecans cook???
Hi, I did put the lid on to hold the heat in.
Hi! about how much does this make?
Hi, It makes 3 cups of cinnamon coated pecans.
At what temperature should these cook?
Hi, These cook on low for 3-4 hours.
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
