By mrshermes2002

Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Line a shallow baking pan with foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a small saucepan combine the sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boiling. Boil at a moderate steady rate, without stirring, until mixture turns a dark amber color, about 10 minutes. Stir in pecans and 1/2 tsp. sea salt. Remove from heat and immediately pour onto the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula, spread evenly. Immediately sprinkle with remaining sea salt. Cool completely. Break into large pieces.
