If you’ve ever strolled through the Oklahoma State Fair and followed the sweet, buttery aroma to a bubbling copper kettle, you know the magic of Oklahoma Nut Candy. This old-fashioned confection—a golden, crunchy cousin of pralines—is a Midwest treasure: toasted pecans or peanuts enrobed in a buttery, vanilla-kissed caramel that hardens into a shatteringly crisp, melt-in-your-mouth candy.
Made with just 5 simple ingredients and no fancy tools, this candy is deeply Southern, deeply satisfying, and deeply easy—ready in under 30 minutes and perfect for gifting, holiday tins, or treating yourself like family.
