In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, water, vanilla, and kosher salt, stirring to combine.

In a medium-large saucepan over medium heat, toast pecans for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Quickly drizzle the sugar mixture into the pan, on top of the pecans, stirring the nuts as you drizzle.

Tip

Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container. The pecans will be slightly sticky at first, but the coating hardens further within a few hours. Get Recipe
