Cinnamon-Sugar & Chili Pecans

What to do when a cute boy invites you over for wine and a little cheese?

First, you make a mess and practically burn down the kitchen...if this picture looks good to you...consider that it's a solid block of burnt sugar. fun to clean!

Then you pull it together, spritz on some perfume and cook something up.

Cinnamon-Sugar and Chili Pecans

1 egg white

1/2 c white granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp sea salt

dash of nutmeg

dash of chili powder

3 dashes of hot chili sauce

4 cups pecan halves

Preheat over to 225 F. Line baking sheet with parchment.

Wisk egg white with wire wisk until frothy. Slowly wisk in remaining ingredients, except the nuts. Stir in pecans, coating each one well.

Spread out on baking sheet, in one layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, mixing well every 15 minutes.

Let cool. Wrap 'em up, and show up 15 minutes late.
