Sweet and spicy candied pecans are delicious and this is a wonderful all-purpose candied nut recipe for you to make at home. Adapted from david lebovitz's pretzel & nut mix, the pecans have a crunchy mahogany coating of sugar and spice. You can use the pecans in candies and desserts and they are equally good when topping salads or savory dishes. They're also perfect on their own when enjoyed as a snack or served as at a party.
