Instant Amazing Candied Nuts

Okay. I know candied pecans are usually just for the winter-time, but the taste buds want what the taste buds want, right? In this case, the taste buds really wanted some candied nuts, so I whipped up a nice 'n easy but oh-so-yummy version. And guess what? These nuts are just as delicious when accompanied by iced tea as they are by hot coco. So get crackin' and eat up, because these tasty treats will only take you 20 minutes, max. Here are the ingredients you will need:

1 cup pecans, raw and unsalted 
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature

Pour the nuts into a bowl and add the water. Use your hands or a spoon to move the nuts around in the water until every nut is evenly coated. Place the brown sugar on the nuts and stir until the pecans are as best coated as you can get them. Put the cinnamon in and coat the nuts, then toss in the white sugar and do the same. put the butter on top and place the bowl into the microwave. Turn the microwave on for 1 minute, stopping to stir the mixture about every 15 seconds. After 1 minute, stir and take the bowl out of the microwave. Set out bowl to let the nuts harden, stirring occasionally (this should take about 10-15 minutes). Then just enjoy! And have fun with it! After the nuts have hardened, you can mix in chocolate chips, M&Ms, raisins, craisins, or anything else that you like!
