#SundaySupper today is bringing you Gifts From The Kitchen. Ken had been wanting to make some kind of pecans for awhile now. Had a hankering for them! And when he made them they were perfectly timed for this post. Cinnamon Candied Pecans were born because I asked him to go to the sweet side. He has made spiced nuts before and they are either spicy or sweet spicy but never had he made candied ones. I love giving little gifts from the kitchen and do it as much as I can but at Christmas we are always doing something special for gifts. Even if it is a little jar or container tucked inside a parcel, bag or basket, it adds that special charm and meaning. Something made from the heart!
A lot of cookies go out of this house wrapped up in pretty boxes over the holidays but I wanted to share something else with you. I have to say that I had to put these in a large jar and say that was off limits or the entire recipe would have disappeared, they are that good!! Super addicting, you can’t eat just one. They were vanishing at the photo shoot too!!
The large jar is going out as a gift this weekend to a Grey Cup party. If I didn’t stow them away the batch would have been gone for sure!! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!! Can’t wait until he makes some more for us!!

I love candied pecans, they are so good when made at home.

Oooh, candied pecans are one of my favorite things around the holidays but there are also a lovely addition to salads the rest of the year. Tell Ken, well done!

These wouldn’t survive 5 minutes in my house! What a mouthwatering holiday treat!!

THIS is the recipe I’ve been looking for. The cinnamon says Christmas and everything else just tastes good. 🙂

I would have a hard time giving these away! I’d just want to eat them all!

Yum Tara! I could just this whole recipe! I know this time of year is for sharing, but not these! I want some right now!

Thanks Jennifer!

They look wonderful, Tara! My husband’s aunt gave us some candied nuts as a gift at Thanksgiving, and my husband reminded me that I used to make them years and years ago when we were first married. Actually I think he was hinting! I think I will have to try your recipe! They really are so good!!
Linda (Meal Planning Maven) says
These are the perfect holiday gift…that is if my hubbie and I don’t gobble up them up first!

shelby says
Pecans are probably my favorite nut to eat this way! This is a great gift and everyone who receives it loves it ! I gave something similar a few years ago to some of my family members. I love how it made my house smell as they were roasting!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks Shelby, that big jar is sitting on the counter calling my name.
Marlene @Nosh My Way says
I’ve done this with walnuts before but never pecans. It’s on my list of gifts to make this year. Thanks Tara.
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thank you Marlene!
Liz says
Oh, I love, love candied nuts. These would be spectacular on a salad, but I have a feeling they’d disappear into my mouth before adding them to a recipe 🙂
Noshing with the Nolands says
Mmmm, on a salad you are right. Thanks so much Liz!
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef says
THIS is the recipe I’ve been looking for. The cinnamon says Christmas and everything else just tastes good. 🙂

Mmmm. Bet the candied pecans do taste as perfect as they look, Tara. You made me smile as I imagined you scrambling to shoot piccies whilst your family was nibbling =)
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks so much Kim, I have the one large jar left and that is it.
Linda | Brunch with Joy says
Candied pecans! I think I will finish at least half of them by the time I’m done making these.
Noshing with the Nolands says
I know Linda, they are so addicting, thanks for coming by!
