Servings4
2 cups granulated sugar
1/8 cup water
4 cups pecans
1 tablespoon butter

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1/8 cup of water to a saucepan over high heat.

2

Stir to ensure all the sugar is wet and keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

3

Once the sugar starts to get wet and brown, add 4 cups of pecans to the mixture.

4

Mix the pecans in the sugar until they are well coated, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

5

When the mixture reaches a caramel color, add 1 tablespoon of butter and continue cooking until ready.

6

Turn off the heat and quickly transfer the mixture to a baking pan to prevent sticking.

7

Separate the pecans in the pan while they are still warm to avoid them sticking together.

8

Let the pecans cool completely before storing them in a covered container.
