  1. Are you supposed to keep cooking them after you put the water in if it’s still runny after 20 min or just pour it out and let it dry on the nuts?

    1. Thank you for the fantastic recipe! I have made this the last few years for Christmas gifts for our friends and family. Everyone loves them and I love how simple they are to make.

      I’m curious if anyone has tried converting this to cook in an instant pot. I only have 1 slow cooker and I would love to utilize my pressure cooker as well.

    I made these tonight and they came out soo yummy. It did my craving for candied pecans. Since I made these at 11pm put them on high for 1 and a half hour stiring every ten minutes. Still came out perfect. Thank you for this recipe!

    1. I am sorry to hear that Sue. Did you dry them on the counter? Did you give them any fridge time? Just trying to figure out why they did that for you.

  5. I made these today, following the recipe exactly. My crock pot seems to cook a little high, so I stirred it more frequently, but the timing was perfect. My husband LOVES these, and I am looking forward to making more for Christmas gifts. We have 3 pecan trees in our yard, so this is perfect! Thank you!
