  • Mix the Sweet Coating: In a large bowl, combine sugar, Fireball Whisky, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until smooth.
  • Coat the Pecans: Add pecan halves to the bowl and toss gently to coat each pecan well.
  • Transfer to the Crockpot: Pour the coated pecans into the prepared crockpot, spreading them out in a single layer.
  • Cook on Low Heat: Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2.5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
  • Cool in the Crockpot: Remove the lid and let the pecans cool in the crockpot for about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to Baking Sheet: Move the pecans to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
  • Final Cooling Phase: Allow pecans to cool completely for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.

Notes

For best results, ensure each pecan is completely coated and do not overcrowd in the crockpot. Stir regularly for even caramelization.
