  • ⅓ cup sugar ⅓ cup water
  • about 3 tablespoons Praline Liquor
  • about 2 teaspoons of Salt

  2. Remove the pecans from the oven and let cool completely.
  3. Repeat step one with the same amount of ingredients. Make sure the pecans are liberally coated in sugar. Increase the oven temp to 325. Sprinkle even more sugar on top right before placing them back into the oven. Bake for another 25 minutes, tossing the pecans around once or twice during the baking process to make sure they bake evenly.
  4. Let the pecans sit out for at least an hour. They are best stored in a tin container or something that can be sealed properly.
