Frequently asked questions:

Are candied pecans gluten free?

This recipe is completely gluten free!

Why are my candied pecans soft?

Let the candied nuts cool for about 45 minutes minutes or until completely cool. You don't want to package warm nuts or the moisture will cause condensation which will soften the candy coating.

Do candied pecans need to be refrigerated?

These candied pecans do not need to be refrigerated. I recommend storing them at room temperature in an airtight container.

Can I freeze candied pecans?

Yes! To freeze, allow the pecans to cool completely after baking, and then transfer them to an airtight container.
