Candied Pecans

This is Grandma Rupe's Recipe - I just love this recipe - so easy and sooooo good!
(For those who don't know - Grandma Rupe was Cortni and Tiffani's grandma on their father's side)

3-4 cups of pecan halves
2 tablespoons of margarine (butter will burn)
1/4 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of Karo Syrup

Preheat oven to 250 degrees - place nuts on non-stick cookie sheet and heat for 5 minutes.

Melt margarine - add sugar and Karo and bring to a boil over medium heat - boil for 5 minutes without stirring after it boils.

Pour mixture over nuts on cookie sheet and stir well. Bake 1 hour stirring nuts every 15 minutes.

Pour onto aluminum foil (or the waxed side of freezer paper) and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix and break up (careful they are very hot). Let cool before eating (not as good if eaten hot) Store tightly covered if you don't eat them all in 5 minutes!
