• Spread hot coated pecans on wax paper; try to separate them as you spread them on the paper.
• Let pecans cool completely.

• To give as gifts, put in decorative glass jars or decorative tins lined with wax paper.
• NOTE: I've tried using brown sugar (1:1 with the white sugar), but the pecans have a tendency to come out sticky and the sugars don't get 'crystalized'. I have not tried these with turbinado or unbleached cane sugar yet. If they don't turn out right, I'll have to keep them for myself !
