Ingredients

8 servings

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp water
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone baking mat) and set aside.
Combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, water, ground cinnamon, and butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Stir frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved and a light caramel begins to form, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt.
Pour in the pecans and stir to coat fully. Then spread the pecan mixture over the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until solidified, about 5 minutes.
Gently break the pecans apart. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container.
