Delicious Candied Pecans cooked in the microwave in less than 10 minutes! This sweet treat is made with pecans coated in a brown sugar glaze, spiced with cinnamon to make an addicting snack for any occasion! They work great as a holiday treat, for gift giving or as a topping for salads, pancakes, yogurt and so much more!
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20 to 30 second increments in the microwave.
To the butter, add the brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and water. Stir well. Microwave for one minute.
Add the pecans, mix well, and microwave for one minute. Stir and repeat the process of stirring and microwaving three more times.
Spread pecans evenly in a single layer on some parchment paper.
Let cool for at least an hour, then enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Nuts should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep well for at least three weeks. I do not recommend storing glazed pecans in the refrigerator because the moisture from the fridge could affect their crunchy coating.
