Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['dairy_free'], recipe: boil sugar, water, butter, and spices in a large pan until it forms a soft ball. **about 2 - 3 minutes** remove from heat and gradually add the pecans. stir gently until it turns sugary. put it all onto a waxed paper cookie sheet. next, butter up your hands and pull apart the pecans into tiny clusters.

Target recipe: preheat oven to 250. combine egg whites and vanilla in large bowl and whisk until frothy (i used my kitchenaid w/ whisk attachment). in a separate bowl combine sugar, salt and cinnamon. add pecans to egg white mixture, mix well until coated. slowly pour sugar mixture into pecans while mixing. pour onto a greased cookie sheet (or use parchment or silpats) and spread the pecans into a single layer. put into oven for 15 minutes then stir the pecans, repeat every 15 minutes for a total of 1 hour. they will be semi soft when warm (still delicious) and will harden when cooled.
