Barbara's Peppery Pecans

These are totally addictive! I have made the recipe exactly in the past, but the only person that would eat them was my DH's Cuban grandmother! Too spicy. I halved the red pepper this time.

I just made these for a get-together tomorrow and they're really good! Crispy and a nice little touch of heat. I made them following the recipe exactly and since I have a recipe for spiced nuts that's a good bit sweeter already I wouldn't change a thing about this one. Just keep an eye on them as they brown or they'll get really dark. Very nice! I'll bet everyone will gobble them up..

These are my go-to accompaniment for a cheese plate. I use a milder red pepper, like Aleppo, which adds just enough spice, without being too hot for anyone.
