If you're looking for a tried and true recipe, here's what I use to
candy walnuts and I don't see why it wouldn't work for pecans too.

Candied Walnuts
from Closet Cooking

(makes 1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups walnut halves
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Spread the walnuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet.

2. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven until nice and toasted, about 5
minutes, and set aside. (Watch them carefully.)

3. Melt the sugar in a sauce pan and wait for it to turn a nice shade
of amber.

4. Add the walnuts and mix to coat.

5. Pour the walnuts onto a sheet of parchment paper, quickly separate
them, sprinkle them with the salt and let them cool.
