    Just made these and they turned out great! I found that I only had to cook mine for about 2 hours and stirring every twenty minutes was VERY important! So easy and so delicious, thanks for the recipe!

    1. So glad you loved them Jessica!

  2. I have a 3 quart crock pot, which works well for me with most recipes. I don’t want to have to buy a larger one, so what would I have to do to modify this delicious recipe? Thanks.

    1. I would just make sure to stir often and you should be good Mel 🙂

    2. Thanks, Corey. So stirring every 12 minutes instead of 15 minutes should work.

    I used the same recipes but cooked @300° for 40 min, took spatula stirred very well and broke up with edge of spatula. Put back in oven for additional 15 mins. Turned off oven, and let cool with door open to room temperature. However the smell in the house my husband and son wouldn’t stay out of them.

    1. Opps, forgot….I did NOT use the water. And I combined pecans, almonds, and cashews all together, for different flavor, and easier on my wallet.

  4. Hi! Some family members have nut allergies so I’m planning to candy pepitas to sprinkle over brussel sprouts. Will this recipe (without the cinnamon because it won’t go with the other flavors) work? TIA!

    1. That sounds yummy! I think it should work!Just make sure to stir often.

  5. I made these and they are still wet after 8 hours of drying. Maybe I added too much water, but does anyone have any ideas on how to dry them?

    1. I’ll throw them in the fridge if they need to harden up some more 🙂
