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.

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups pecans
  • 1 cup monk fruit
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • 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).
