Maple Candied Pecans
These 4-ingredient maple candied pecans are naturally sweetened, perfectly crunchy, and absolutely delightful. An easy, addictive snack or salad topper made with just a few pantry ingredients.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Add sugar and sour cream (mind blown) to a medium saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until combined.
- Step 2
Continue stirring until mixture reaches a soft ball stage (240 degrees F). Note: You’ll want to use a candy thermometer to get this right. Once soft ball stage has been reached, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon maple extract.
- Step 3
Add 4 cups pecan halves to the mixture and stir to coat. Spread out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to cool.
- Step 4
Once cool, break into small pieces and store in an air-tight container.
