Spicy Cocoa-Glazed Pecans image

I've bought pecans glazed in various flavors in the past. Now I know how to make them. I like having glazed nuts on hand for the holidays. I think the cocoa and chili powder combo will really rock.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 c plus 2 tbs sugar, divided
1 c warm water
1 1/2 c large pecan halves
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
3 tsp chili powder
1/8 to 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.

  • 3. Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, cocoa, chili powder, and cayenne pepper in medium bowl. Add pecans; toss until all cocoa mixture coats pecans. Spread coated pecans onto prepared pan.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pecans turned out great. They're a little spicy, but not too much. The cocoa powder gives them a nice rich flavor.
