Variations & Tips
For a little extra spice, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sugar mixture for a sweet and spicy kick. If you prefer a vanilla flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the water before pouring it over the pecans. For those with a sweet tooth, drizzle some melted chocolate over the cooled pecans for an indulgent treat. If you’re making these for a crowd, consider doubling the recipe, as they tend to disappear quickly!
