granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed and has a lower glycemic index.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor while being dairy-free.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Maple syrup provides a different sweetness profile.

pecans

🥗Healthier: walnuts

Walnuts are often less expensive and still provide a rich flavor.

Boil pecans, sugar, and water together in a pot.

Add moltos to the mixture after microwaving it to loosen it up.

Let the mixture boil for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare a sheet pan with a rack for cooling the pecans.

Once the mixture thickens and coats the pecans, remove from heat.

Heat oil to 350°F for frying the pecans.

Fry the pecans until they are crispy and have a shiny coating.
