These are one of our favorite treats for movies! They are a great popcorn substitute because they are crunchy and fun. This recipe is really easy once you have got it down and the whole family can enjoy them.

Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 1 hour hr
Soaking time 4 hours hrs
Total Time 5 hours hrs 5 minutes mins
4 cups pecans 1 cup monk fruit 1 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 250 F
Put pecans in a jar with enough water to cover them with 2 teaspoons of salt and stir.
Let pecans soak for 3 to 4 hours.
Then put the pecans on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and leave in the oven for 1 hour.
When the pecans are crispy and warm, take them out of the oven and set aside to cool.
Place a pot the stove on medium-high heat.
Put the monk fruit in and let it melt, swirling the pot to stir (the monk fruit will stick to the spoon).
When its melted, put the pecans in and stir (be very careful because the melted monk fruit is very hot).
When they are combined, put them back on the tray to cool for about 5 minutes. Enjoy!!
