Candied Pecans

These candied pecans are a must have  for the holiday season. I end up making these about three or four times over November and December  because they get eaten before they make it into cookie trays for gifts. They are super easy to make. You can make them with half a cup of granulated sugar and half a cup of brown sugar as well .
