- Next sprinkle cinnamon sugar over pecans, and stir until nuts are all coated well with sugar. Cook covered on LOW for 3 hours, stirring every 2o minutes. When 20 minutes are left, pour 1/4 cup of water into the crockpot and stir. This will make a the outer shell nice and crunchy.

I ended up tripling the amount of everything cause I needed a large amount. I’m curious should the cooking time go up?
How long do you think these will stay fresh? How early could I make ahead for Christmas gift-giving? You also have a typo: right above the warning paragraph, reads instand instead of instant
I have made these a week before, but not much before that.
Is there something I could substitute for the egg white to make this recipe vegan?
I haven’t tried any substitutes, hopefully one of the fans can help out with this question.
how many tablespoons of cinnamon is it calling for dont understand the amount u have there.
1.5 Tablespoons
I love this recipe! The pecans are my favorite!
