These pecans are so incredibly tasty I had a hard time keeping my paws off of them to snap a picture. Consider these extremely dangerous as they are very easy to make and quite addictive! The sweet, salty and spicy notes are in good balance and match up with each other nicely.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground chipotle
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Heat honey, chipotle and cinnamon in the microwave until honey is a thinner consistency. Add pecans and mix until all are coated by the honey/spice mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven on oiled foil for 10-15 minutes, until nuts are fragrant.

Remove nuts from oven and let cook for 1 min. Meanwhile, mix sugar and salt in a large bowl. Once nuts have cooled, add to the bowl and toss to coat. Spread on wax paper and let nuts dry completely.
