Spicy-Sweet Candied Pecans Recipe: A Flavorful Kick

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Great recipe. I like the crunch. I doubled the recipe with no problems. I also upped the amounts of each pepper by 1/2 and added Chinese 5-spice powder for a little spice. The additional pepper brings a little tongue/throat burn after a while. Most of the people I have given this to seem to like the late burn and say that it makes it more interesting. Thanks for the recipe.

    Sweet and Spicy Candied Pecans – With a Kick, These nuts are addictive!!! Serve as a delicious snack, super-easy appetizer (great on a Ritz cracker with whipped cream cheese), topping for salads (see my Waldorf Salad recipe #117914) or in candied sweet potatoes And, they make the perfect hostess gift especially during the Holiday Season! I make a double batch before Thanksgiving and freeze in ziplock bags for use at Christmas and New Years The kick is up to you, as they are really very mild as written (we think they are perfect this way) Recipe was given to me by my sister, originally from Bon Appetit , Great recipe I like the crunch I doubled the recipe with no problems I also upped the amounts of each pepper by 1/2 and added Chinese 5-spice powder for a little spice The additional pepper brings a little tongue/throat burn after a while Most of the people I have given this to seem to like the late burn and say that it makes it more interesting Thanks for the recipe , These are so delicious! I like serving them over caramel pecan ice cream with whipped cream on top, and pretzels or chocolate wafer rolls, topped with caramel sauce
