Burnt candied pecans
I made a pound of candied pecans (egg white, brown sugar, vanilla...) and I guess I baked them too long. They are good except for a burnt flavor and I was wondering if anyone knew of anything I can do to them now to salvage them... a coating or something? I was considering brushing them with melted butter and sprinkling a sugar cinnamon mix on them... or dip half in chocolate? Any ideas?

Cut the pecans a bit smaller than whole, fry up a bunch of bacon, super crispy. Crumble that up and mix it in: meaty, protein-y snack, ... or sprinkle it on salads, veggies, and stuff. The bacon will set your senses up for a smokey burned flavor, and unless the pecans are completely carbonized, it'll taste great.

Candied pecans typically will use white sugar, and an egg white. Glazed pecans brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. And, pralines are essentially coated in a caramel made of brown sugar, butter, and cream. Each one of these results in a different flavor and texture.How do you make healthy caramelized pecans?
