Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans (or nuts of choice)
- 0.5 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the butter, Splenda, cinnamon, salt, and water.
Stir the mixture continuously until the butter is melted and the Splenda dissolves, creating a smooth syrup. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once the syrup is smooth, add the nuts to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the syrup mixture.
Cook the nuts in the syrup for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning and to ensure an even coating. The syrup will thicken and start to adhere to the nuts as it cooks.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Be careful, as the syrup may sizzle when the vanilla is added.
Spread the coated nuts onto the prepared baking tray in a single layer, separating any clusters with a fork if desired. Allow them to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Once cooled, the candied nuts will harden. Break apart any large clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
