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

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 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.

I'm not usually a fan of spicy foods, but these pecans are a delightful exception. The heat is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the glaze. I'll definitely be making these again!
