Servings:

In a small bowl whisk the egg whites and vanilla until very frothy, this may take a minute or two. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, stir until combined. Set aside.
Put the pecans in a large bowl, pour over the eggs white and vanilla mixture. Stir until the pecans are evenly coated. Pour over the sugar mixture and stir until the pecans are coated.
Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray or coat the bottom and edges with a little oil. Add the sugar coated pecans.
Cover. Set the slow cooker to low temperature. Cook for 3 hours, stirring every 20 minutes.
When the cooking time is done, pour the nuts onto a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Cool for 30 minutes before storing or packaging into bags. Enjoy!

How long can I store these?

About a week in an airtight container, if they last that long! You can even freeze these, though they get a little sticky if you do.

Should I add water like some other recipes do?

Serving suggestions:

These make fantastic snacks on their own—we love packing them in lunches or setting them out for parties.
They’re also perfect for adding to a charcuterie board, adding a delightful homemade touch!
Crockpot candied pecans make lovely gifts; simply place them in small bags and tie them with festive ribbons. These also travel well for sending in holiday boxes to families in other states.
You can also use them as a topping for salads, yogurt, or even hot fudge sundaes.
