Categories     Fruit

Time 30m

Yield 3 cups, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar (yes, again)
2 cups warm water
3 cups pecan halves
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then use a vegetable oil spray to lightly coat a large but shallow baking sheet.
  • In a bowl combine the 1/2 cup of sugar & the warm water, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add pecans & let soak 10 minutes before draining & discarding the water.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the 1/4 cup of sugar, cocoa, chili powder & cayenne pepper.
  • Add pecans to this spicy cocoa mixture & toss until all the cocoa mixture coats the pecans, then spread the nuts evenly on the prepared pan.
  • Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until pecans start to glisten & appear dry, stirring several times while baking.
  • Remove from the oven & let the baking sheet cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Store nuts in a tightly covered container, placed in a cool, dry spot.
  • Serve as a snack, with beverages, or sprinkle in salads.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For this recipe, you'll need to use a combination of sweet and spicy peppers. Some good options include bell peppers, jalapeƱos, and habaneros. If you're not sure how spicy you want your cocoa to be, start with a small amount of spicy peppers and add more to taste.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill. If you're roasting them in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
  • Make the cocoa base: The cocoa base is made with unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, and water. You can also add a pinch of salt or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Blend the peppers and cocoa base: Once the peppers are roasted and the cocoa base is made, you can blend them together until smooth. You can use a blender, food processor, or immersion blender.
  • Add milk or cream: If you want a richer cocoa, you can add milk or cream. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Peppers and spicy cocoa is a unique and delicious drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this cocoa is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting drink, give peppers and spicy cocoa a try. You won't be disappointed!
