Keto Candied Pecans

Growing up, my favorite movie theater snack was candied pecans! The warmth, sweetness, and crunch of candied pecans is not only amazing, but it is the perfect movie snack! They are addicting!

I am so excited that I will once again get to enjoy an old favorite at the movies (even if I have to smuggle it in like a drug mule)! These keto candied pecans will for sure be your new favorite movie theatre snack! We recommend making a big batch of these, separating them into bags, freezing them, and then taking them out the day before you plan a trip to the movies.

These Keto Candied Pecans are delicious no matter how you eat them, but in my opinion, they are even better when they are served warm. While these make for an amazing freeze and go snack, they are definitely best warm. If you’ve had candied pecan before, you know this is true!

My favorite thing about these candied pecans may be that they are super easy to make! I am all about quick and easy dishes and snacks, and these pecans fit that description perfectly! Just a few simple ingredients and a couple of minutes are all you’ll need to start enjoying these yummy candied pecans.
