Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Incorporate the cinnamon, stirring until its fragrance fills the air. (1 minute)

04

Step

Introduce the vanilla extract to the pan, stirring until the sizzling subsides. (30 seconds)

05

Step

Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated in the sweet mixture. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the pecans are fragrant and lightly toasted. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the pecan mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, spreading it into an even layer. Allow it to cool completely to room temperature, so the brittle will set firmly before breaking it into delectable pieces. (20 minutes)

For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider using toasted pecans.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve its crispness.
A pinch of sea salt added after cooling can beautifully balance the sweetness.
Be careful not to burn the butter when melting it.
