Why are my candied pecans soft?

Let the candied nuts cool for about 45 minutes minutes or until completely cool. You don’t want to package warm nuts or the moisture will cause condensation which will soften the candy coating.

Can I freeze candied pecans?

Yes! To freeze, allow the pecans to cool completely after baking, and then transfer them to an airtight container.
