Coffee Glazed Pecans

COFFEE-GLAZED PECANS

My neighbor Lisa Klosinski brought me some of these along with some Starbucks' Via at Christmas. What a perfect combination! I had to ration them out to make sure I did not eat them all at once. They are awesome! I didn't share any of them, but now I hope to try the recipe and promise to share them with others. Thanks Lisa for sharing the recipe!!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups pecans (halves preferably)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoon water
2 tsp. instant coffee
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:
In large skillet, combine sugar, water, instant coffee & cinnamon; mix well, then add pecans.
Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until pecans are well glazed.
