Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. instant coffee powder
- 1/2 cup hot black coffee
- butter
Directions
- Tear off a sheet of waxed paper about 2 feet long. Coat the wax paper with butter. Set aside where you can get to it immediately.
- Put all ingredients in a 10-inch skillet and mix. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until liquid is evaporated and pecans are glazed (about 5 minutes).
- Immediately pour them onto buttered paper in a single layer. Work quickly, this starts clumping fast. These will be very hard at first but will soften overnight. The flavor becomes much better, too.
- Store in an airtight container.
Yield: 2 cups
Note:You can use any kind of nuts you like. You can also use brown sugar instead of granulated and you can add spices, too.
